Punjab has been sacrificing its share of water too to sindh and balochistan, but when it comes to Punjab’s turn 18th amendment is strictly followed. Anyways, suppose the government succeeds in destroying Punjab’s industry will that help Pakistan? Can any government in this world operate without taxes and foreign exchange? If the federal government thinks so all power to them.

The distribution companies of Punjab have the highest billing recovery rate 80-90 % or above) and their share is being reduced to provide to KESC (which has a very poor recovery rate) which will further increase the deficit of Wapda. I really dont understand the policies of the government.

As far as water is concerned I don’t agree with you.

In Punjab we waste a lot of water. There are a lot of areas in Punjab which have sufficient under ground water but they are still irrigated by canals because it’s cheaper. Growers in Punjab use flooding system to irrigate their lands. Flood irrigation should be totally banned.. areas with under ground water should not be provided river water.

In a totally nationalistic approach.. we should make water storages and provide all the additional water to uncultivated areas of Southern Punjab, Sind, and Baluchistan. Believe me if we start drip irrigation all over the country, we have sufficient water to irrigate whole of Southern Punjab, Sindh, and Baluchistan. Furthermore if water wastage is stopped in Punjab, and all the additional water is given to Baluchistan and Sindh.. they will never oppose dams.

We need a totally nationalistic approach for common benefit. This regionalism/provincialism will not take us anywhere. Decisions must be taken on national basis which can benefit the whole country instead of pulling each other’s legs.
