The Supreme Court on Saturday issued a notice to Indus Water Commission (IWC) in a case pertaining to water theft by India from River Indus. After hearing the arguments, the CJP issued a notice to the IWT commission and sought report in 10 days. On Dec 30, the chief justice heard a petition alleging that water is being stolen from the River Ravi and Abasia Link Canal by India. He ordered the Punjab Irrigation Department Secretary Syed Ali Murtaza to submit a report on the matter by Jan 4. “Why is India stealing our water?” questioned Justice Nisar, adding that, “we will not let India steal Pakistan’s water.”
