درياءُ منھنجو مرشد-33
We, the members of the Fellows of the Indus River (FIR), are reaching out to you with a grave concern regarding the dire state of the Indus River, a vital source of sweet water and the lifeline of Sindh. It is imperative that we collectively address the urgent threat posed by the continuous release of wastewater and effluent into its waters.
The Indus River, a symbol of life and civilization, is facing unprecedented peril. Despite legal provisions prohibiting the discharge of waste into freshwater bodies like lakes, canals, and rivers, this harmful practice persists across Sindh. Of particular concern is the situation at the old Phulile Canal, where conditions have worsened alarmingly.
Furthermore, the Indus River is facing an environmental catastrophe that urban and industrial waste follow into Indus River, which is extremely toxic. Recently, the irrigation department released water from Muncher Lake with a total dissolved solids (TDS) level as high as 30%. Before this Manchur lake was a storage for sweet water hub which was contemned through MNV drain. The project was funded by WAPDA and world bank. This contamination, coupled with water shortages, poses a grave threat to the mangrove forests, livestock, human health, bird and wildlife, domestic insects, agriculture, and the surface soil.
We, the fellows of Indus River (FIR), urge all to join us in raising our collective voice to save the Indus River. It is not just a body of water; it is the very essence of our civilization.
Together, let us take a stand to safeguard this precious resource and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
Thank you
