[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 6, 2025, hundreds of protesters from multiple communities in Tando Ghulam Haidar town, Sindh province, demonstrated against the federal government's plan to construct six new canals on the Indus River. The peaceful protest involved farmers, laborers, students, and political activists from several local communities.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and protests intensify, agricultural disruptions could affect local crop production in Sindh province, though the immediate impact appears limited given the peaceful nature of the demonstration.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of protests to other areas along the Indus River system
• Track government response to the canal construction opposition and potential policy adjustments
• Watch for any disruptions to local transportation or agricultural activities if demonstrations continue
