Minister for Water Resources Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah on Thursday said water scarcity was a serious issue and it could not be resolved by any single province. Responding to a Calling Attention Notice in the Senate, he proposed that the 91 accord should be acted upon instead of following three-tier system. Criticizing the three-tier system and its introducer, Khursheed Shah said it was the most disadvantageous.
“The one who was getting water through this system was the biggest responsible of water crisis in the country.” he said. He said the main factor behind the water crisis was decisions which avoiding the Constitution. He said there was 57 percent shortage of water in the country. Highlighting the certain areas in Sindh where it was quite difficult to give bath even a body, he informed that the people had to travel towards urban areas to bring water.
