Shaukat Mallah

Shaukat Mallah is a thirty-something fisherman from Jamshoro’s Sain Dino village, who is currently facing dire challenges due to dwindling water flows in the Indus River. He is desperately awaiting the monsoon rains that will restore the river's flow and support his livelihood, as he relies on catching palla machli, a prized fish, which has become increasingly scarce. His situation highlights the broader issues of water scarcity and the impact of corporate farming projects on local communities.
