[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Fishing associations and agricultural groups staged peaceful protests in Badin city, Sindh province, Pakistan on March 30, 2025, opposing illegal canal extraction from the Indus River and corporate farming practices affecting the Indus Delta.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether protests spread to affect agricultural production or river transport infrastructure in the broader Indus Delta region.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other Sindh districts or major agricultural areas that could disrupt local food production
• Track any escalation that might affect Indus River navigation or port access near Karachi
