Poeple in Malir district are long waiting for the construction of the Mol dam and so are the people in district Dadu for the construction of Baran dam there.
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
Spockji! What about Simbly and Rawal dams? The main purposes of both of them to supply water to Isloo and Rawalpindi!
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
Criticism just for the sake of criticism is no good! Whoever comes on the throne of Islamabd, these projects wont be curtalied.
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
So there was nothing wrong with Musharaf toying the Punjabi line? Are you as forgiving of others, even other punjabis who pander to the Punjab to further their careers?
To lead Pakistan, you have to pander to many people. The other option is total martial law with no dissent allowed. You will be the first to cry if that happens.
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
No they are not, where did you read that. Also, are you calling Musharraf a liar?
Read what? That small dams are better? It is written about in many scientific studies. Mush is playing the political game for Punjab's sake or maybe he really does believe that nonsense. I don't know. This is one stand I agree with ANP on.

No, you missed the point.. You blame others for pandering to Punjab.. But you are willing to excuse Musharaf for doing the same thing.
You denounce other govt officials for pandering to Punjab, even though they are doing the same thing Mush is doing by pandering to Punjab to foward his career.
If its right for Musharaf, it has to be right for everybody...
In fact, even you should start pandering to Punjab.. Maybe learn Punjabi, move to Lahore, leave the MQM offcourse... Maybe then you can start moving up whatever ladder your trying to go up...
PS. Mush must be a pretty damn good actor cause when he was talking about the Kalabagh Dam, he certainly sounded sincere... Certainly sounded like he believed in it personally...
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
At least three I know! And they are doing good: Hub dam at Karachi, Mirani Dam at Gawadar and Thaddo dam, Karachi.
Yes, those are great achievments for Pakistan which have brought benefit to the people, and we should all applaud them.
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
Indeed. God Bless Pakistan. Long may these developments continue. :k:

Inshallah it will. Despite the attempts by anti-Pakistan elements to derail this. The foundation stones are being laid nicely, despite the mismanagement of Pakistan by previous leaders. :)

When you say Anti Pakistan, you mean you and Suhaib, or does that also include Reza? 
Re: Pakistan Develops 20 Small Dams To Irrigate 27,000 Acres.
We may all have differing political points of view, but none of us are anti-Pakistani. Sometimes the greatest patriot is that who criticises and questions leaderships because they love the nation more. That said I don't think every Pakistani should applaud great development projects like this 20 small dams plans, and wish for their successful completion.

I don't blame anyone for pandering to Punjab because they are the most powerful geographic/ethnic entitity in Pakistan. That is the reality, but I wish it were different and there existed actual equality among the federating units. Unlike some others, I do not live in a fool's paradise where Immi will be elected unopposed as PM in Pakistan and Punjab will not matter.
I don't know what Mush thinks in his heart.

More good news on dam building in Pakistan.
2,700MW additional power to be generated in three years
Around 2,700 MW additional power will be generated in coming three years with the completion of Private Power Infrastructure Board’s (PPIB) projects. Caretaker Minister for Water and Power, Tariq Hameed talking to APP said PPIB has been directed to remove bottlenecks in small hydel projects having capacity of 100MW to 200MW to bridge the power demand and supply gap. He said to overcome load-shedding problem besides starting effective management WAPDA will get one rental plant while two rental plants have already been inaugurated having total capacity of 286MW to overcome power shortage in the country. He said 150MW power will be produced by 2008 through windmills while 600 houses have been provided solar energy in all the four provinces.
He said WAPDA has planned to start new power plant at Guddu to improve additional power upto 800MW during 2008-09. Tariq Hameed said Mangla raising project will be completed by June next and its filling will be in next summer due to which capacity generation will increase to estimated 180 MW. He said development work has been started on Jinnah hydel project at Jinnah Barrage by WAPDA to generate 94MW electricity to be completed in 2010. Tariq Hameed said the ministry has planned to purchase 100,000 energy saver bulbs to be distributed in hospitals, educational institutions and other government offices to help save energy. He said these saver bulbs will also be placed at Utility Stores, as it saves 80% energy than other bulbs. He added the decision of closing shops at 8:00 pm has helped saved 300MW electricity.
He said the government is striving to overcome power demand and supply gap, adding, the situation will improve from 2009 onwards after starting of eight power plants under PPIB. **He said all mega power projects will be completed by 2016 included Basha-Diamer, Kalabagh, Akora, Munda and Kurram-Tungi to further generate 9,000MW electricity in the country. **He said electricity demand would also be met through small and medium power generation projects under public-private partnership. Tariq Hameed said a comprehensive strategy is being chalked out for utilization of coal in power generation to balance the supply and demand of electricity. The minister said study on Kalabagh Dam has been completed while engineering work of Basha-Diamer Dam will be completed by the end of 2008. He said the contract award of the project is likely in 2009 while deadline of 2016 has been fixed for its completion. He said private sector will complete Munda Dam while pending work of Khuram-Tungi will be started within three months.
