Sistan and Baluchestan Facing Water Stress
Less than a month into this year, Sistan and Baluchestan province has faced water stress.
Sistan and Baluchestan province has been experiencing various crises and lack of facilities since the past. It has been deprived of everything from children's education to unemployment, lack of electricity, gas, water, and many other minor facilities that are the rights of every citizen in a country.
The lack of normal living facilities was not enough, repression, arrests, killings, etc. were also added by the regime after the protests, putting the people of Balochistan in even more difficulty. Now, just 3 weeks after the start of the new year, this province is facing the stress of water shortage. 70 percent of Khash County is without water and the remaining 30 percent has undrinkable water.
Habibollah Dahamardeh, the elected representative of the people in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, also warned about the water crisis in Sistan and Baluchestan province and announced: "A humanitarian disaster is unfolding in Sistan and Baluchestan province."
Habibollah Dehmardeh, quoted by ISNA news agency, said in a public meeting yesterday: "Our sworn enemies have closed the Kamal Khan Dam and cut off water to the people. If it is not prevented urgently and as soon as possible, we will be forced to come together to resolve it."
Dehmardeh also announced that apparently there is no budget to prevent a crisis, but when a crisis occurs, everyone goes on a military campaign, and then there is no time left.
The Islamic Republic regime and its agents beat their heads and lament for the armies that were left without water after the Euphrates was blocked by Omar ibn Saad 1400 years ago, but they do not take the slightest action for the people of Iran who are living in a state of water scarcity. Not only is there a problem of water scarcity in Sistan and Baluchestan, but they have also been deprived of other problems such as fuel, electricity, internet and many other facilities. The people of Baluchestan have always been oppressed and still have no justice.
The problem of water scarcity in this province will have bad consequences. One of the consequences will be the transfer of the border of this province to Qom and Semnan. What answer will the Islamic Republic regime have for history with all these atrocities it is committing against its people?
