The Pakistan Senate has raised concerns over the government's plan to divert water from the Indus River for corporate farming, urging resolution through the Council of Common Interests (CCI). Opposition leaders, including Sherry Rehman, warn that the move could harm Sindh's agricultural productivity and lead to desertification, while the government insists no major infrastructure projects are being planned on the Indus River.
