The chief minister said that the province of Sindh has been receiving short supplies of water since long. But from 1991 when the Accord was signed Sindh has been given less water than its allocated share. As a result, people of Sindh, particularly the growers and the government have suffered a huge loss. Therefore, Sindh government must file its claim.
He directed Irrigation department to work out the details of the water received from 1991 to 2017 and calculate the short supplies so that a vigorous case could be presented in the CCI meeting to be held Tuesday.
