Punjab pleads for Indus water for south
With water situation in the country improving, Punjab on Wednesday protested the distribution formula calling it "disastrous for cotton crop' in four crucial districts of southern Punjab, which produce over four million bales of cotton. In a letter to the Indus River System Authority (Irsa), the Punjab government said the distribution formula hurt cotton sowing in Dera Ghazi Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, Rajanpur and Muzaffargarh, which produced over four million bales.
