Illegal occupation is also going on around Kanjhar. Twenty five or thirty years ago today One of the masterpieces and beauty of the place. There were 12 points in which fish were raised. The fish was transported across the country by train and truck. The fishermen lived a prosperous life here. A large number of fishermen and sailors migrated from Punjab to work here. Before 1976, the water of the Indus River was released into Lake Keenjhar, which filled the lake with crabs, including small and large fish. Due to wrong policies and inexperienced plans, Lake Kanjhar has now been destroyed, from which thousands of tons of fish and shrimp used to be supplied to the world by rail and truck in previous years. Due to the crisis, the sailors and fishermen here are hungry The majority of them have migrated to other parts of Sindh and Punjab and the children here have given up their family livelihood and are making a living by cutting and selling stones, gravel and gravel. Among them, their younger generations are spending their time washing the cars of tourists visiting Lake Kanjhar and working at Dhaba hotels.

Due to which 90% of the natural fish and fish seeds and crabs etc. coming into the river are dumped in the link canals and lost in the seawater. The remaining 10% of the fish and its seeds are dumped in the lake Due to the situation which flows out of Karachi Canal and due to lack of proper ownership of Kanjhar Lake, the beautiful Kanjhar Lake of Sindh is now losing its beauty. There are five agencies supervising Kanjhar Lake which are Water Board, Tourism, Irrigation. , Wildlife and Fisheries are the claimants while Fisheries is claiming to release a large number of fish seeds in Lake Kanjhar with the help of AAP on the direction of Sindh Government.
