2025 Sindh Canal Protests
[edit]The 2025 Sindh Canal Protests were a series of demonstrations that erupted in Sindh province, Pakistan, in April 2025. Protesters opposed a proposed canal project, raising concerns about its potential impact on regional water rights, agriculture, and the environment.[1] The protests were supported by civil society groups, local communities, and political parties, who argued that the project would exacerbate water scarcity in southern Sindh and threaten the ecological balance of the Indus delta.[2]
Background
[edit]In early 2025, the government of Pakistan announced plans to construct new canals branching from the Indus River, intended to enhance irrigation infrastructure.[3] The proposal faced immediate criticism in Sindh, where opponents claimed the diversion of water would harm downstream agriculture and reduce water flow to sensitive ecosystems.[4] Several Sindh-based nationalist parties and environmental organizations argued that the project prioritized the interests of upstream regions at the expense of Sindh's water security.[5] Despite government assurances that environmental concerns would be addressed, opposition to the project intensified, culminating in widespread protests across the province.[6]
