Pakistani farmers protest new canals, claiming they will exacerbate water scarcity in Sindh.

Farmers in Pakistan's Sindh province have formed the Anti-Canals Action Committee to protest against the construction of six new canals on the Indus River, arguing it will worsen the region's water scarcity. The protest, starting November 23, is backed by Sindh's government, which promises to oppose the projects in national forums. The farmers also criticize the Cholistan canal project, saying it lacks proper approvals.
