💨 Abstract

Protests against a proposed Indus River canal project in Sindh, Pakistan have led to a halt in road transport and judicial operations in various districts. The project, which would divert water from the Indus to Punjab, has led to protests as it could decrease downstream supply to Sindh. Sit-ins by lawyers and nationalist groups continue until the project is formally cancelled, despite assurances from the Prime Minister that no canal will be built without consensus.
