Pakistan’s action suffers a lot of damage in agriculture and business, know how to know
Since the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the tension between India and Pakistan has increased. In such a situation, if Pakistan only concerns India’s military revenge, it will forget the forest. Some synonyms of India have so many distant consequences on the country. One such step is to change the Indus River flow. With India changing the flow of water, Pakistan has to face both drought and floods. It also affects the availability of drinking water. However, the biggest loss of this action in Pakistan may be the kharif crop.
On May 5, when the flow of Chenab was almost half this year, the Indus River System Authority of the Pakistan River System, “India has been unanimous in the Chenab River flow in the Marla River due to the low supply of India.
Report about Pakistan’s kharif crop
The IRSA Advisory Committee has announced a 21 percent discount for the remaining Kharif season in the event of a general supply in Chenab. It states that the reservoirs are practically used in view of the crisis caused by India’s low supply in the Chenab River.
The announcement was released when the water level in the Chenab River in Marla reached 12,967 cusecs, which were 43 percent lower than the same day. However, the story does not end here. Later, India suddenly released water and on May 8, the water level reached 26,363 cusecs, which increased the risk of flooding.
Pakistan’s kharif crop depends on Chenab water
Kharif crops, large -scale water are needed and dependent on Chenab, are very important for Pakistan’s food stability. However, he has a role in all exports of Pakistan. Rice and cotton – two kharif products – play an important role in the country’s outbound transport. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, in 2023-24, Pakistan’s total exports of rice and cotton are 63 percent. For Pakistan, exports are required to bring foreign currency, which pays important imports such as petroleum. In addition, foreign exchange helps stabilize domestic currency and maintain business balance.
Pakistan can be trapped in a big financial crisis
Pakistan’s trade may be shocked during the already stress. According to the Ministry of Finance, Pakistan’s exports in 2023-24 were $ 23 billion in the four-year low. Meanwhile, exports are expected not only due to intermittent water supply but also due to the presence of Indian Navy in the Arabian Sea, near the Karachi port. Pakistan may be in the financial crisis in the coming months and in the coming months due to intermittent water supply, poor export and eventually sending export goods.
