Deputy Commissioner Enforces Section 144 to Curb Water Theft

In a bid to curb water theft from the Chasma Right Bank Canal, the Deputy Commissioner of DG Khan Division has enforced Section 144. This measure is aimed at ensuring a fair distribution of water along the canal, vital for crop cultivation. The restriction will remain in effect until May 30 to safeguard the water supply crucial for sustaining crops.

This initiative holds great importance in maintaining equitable water distribution to support agriculture. The Deputy Commissioner highlighted the critical role of water, especially during key growth stages such as for cotton crops. Strict actions will be taken against any individuals caught stealing water, as it can have a significant negative impact on crop yields.

The imposition of Section 144 in DG Khan Division underscores the authorities' commitment to protecting water resources and promoting fair practices in water usage. This step not only safeguards the interests of farmers but also ensures the sustainability of agricultural activities in the region. By cracking down on water theft, the authorities are working towards creating a more secure and productive environment for crop cultivation.
