Berlin, Nov 5 (NationPress) Shafi Burfat, the Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), reached out to the global community on Wednesday, alleging that Pakistan is engaging in uranium enrichment and nuclear storage within the mountainous regions of Sindh province, which he labels a significant threat to global security.

In his letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), and various heads of state, Burfat urged for a thorough international investigation and immediate safety measures regarding credible claims of hidden underground tunnels and suspected nuclear operations in Sindh.

"We harbor serious concerns and strong suspicions about the presence of covert nuclear facilities. As representatives of the National Movement of Sindhudesh, Sindhi civil society, and worried citizens, we are appealing for urgent international awareness regarding alarming allegations of extensive clandestine subterranean construction and suspected nuclear-related activity throughout several remote mountainous belts in Sindh Province, Pakistan," the letter outlined.

"Our apprehensions are based on verified information indicating that the nuclear undertakings of the Pakistani military might pose immediate and severe risks to regional peace and security, especially for Sindh, environmental safety, and the health, livelihoods, and human rights of local communities," it further stated.

Quoting numerous independent local testimonies, dated photographs, annotated maps, and consistent community reports, Burfat asserted the discovery of vast underground tunnels and chambers in remote highland regions—north of Jamshoro near Noriabad, around Kambar-Shahdadkot, and west of Manchar Lake in Sindh.

The Sindhi leader underscored that reports highlighted increased construction activity, restricted access to specific mountain areas, and heightened secrecy surrounding certain locations. He mentioned that local observers and environmental monitors allege that these underground structures are being utilized or prepared for activities related to Pakistan's nuclear apparatus, including potential storage or concealment of nuclear materials or facilities for nuclear-related processes.

"If nuclear materials or sensitive nuclear processes are present in unmonitored or insecure underground facilities, there is a severe risk of radioactive contamination, accidents, ecosystem damage, and violations of international nuclear-safety and non-proliferation obligations. The potential humanitarian and cross-border environmental consequences necessitate immediate, impartial verification and, if necessary, rapid mitigation," Burfat stressed.
