This is apropos a Business Recorder editorial "Nature's revenge" carried by the newspaper on Friday. The newspaper seems to have prepared a strong case for Sindh by arguing that "What the authorities need to understand is that the requirements of maintaining the natural environment and human survival in the delta and southern reaches of Sindh in a sustainable fashion cannot be completely trumped by the upper riparian's irrigation needs, as seems to have been the case for too long and led, amongst other acrimonious effects, to the ruling out of the Kalabagh Dam. Ignoring this catastrophe any further will give birth not just to protests like the one mentioned above, but possible ecologically and economically driven mass migrations from the delta and surrounding area. Surely this outcome would be unacceptable for any civilized state".
Sindh as lower riparian has suffered too much for too long. The redressal of its plight will surely strengthen federation and promote inter-provincial harmony.
