Indus River System Authority (IRSA) on Thursday reduced 19,400 cusecs water from River Indus and ordered to close Chashma, Jhelum Link and Taunsa Panjnad Link canals.
According to a statement issued by IRSA, water flow in River Indus and River Kabul has lessened because of which the authorities are reducing water from Punjab’s part. Chashma and Jhelum Link canals are witnessing 10,000 cusecs of water flow and would affect Greater Thal Canal. However, water flow in Taunsa and Panjnad Link is 11,000 cusecs.
On the other hand, Punjab government has challenged the decision of reducing water from its part only.
