We don’t hear flood devastations in India or China any more.. the reason is that they have controlled their rivers and made water reservoirs..!!!
Sind has suffered a lot in last two years because of the floods, yet they continue to criticize the construction of dams on Indus river.
Sind can be a major beneficiary of water reservoirs.. not only to avoid flood devastations, but they can bring a lot of land under cultivation from this wasted water. I guess the nationalist in sind oppose the construction of dams on Indus merely to exploit people’s feelings for political gains..
The main problem that the Sindhis have is that according to them, they will not have enough water. Their view is that the Indus River can not support another dam.
And they got what they wanted last year: MORE WATER.
Finally, as you said politicians use this issue to score political points with hardcore, brainwashed nationalists.
In pakistan, the nationalist scum politicians have played a lot on the lisaniat/ethnicity and hence the hatred between provinces and ethnicities. For example, ANP has absolutely no argument other than that since their forefathers opposed it, so they will never let it happen. Besides there is always the anti-pakistan agenda since these pro-russian nationalists will never want that pakistan gets electricity around 1 rupee/unit.
As for sindh, I guess its just old pain hatred for punjab regardless of the fact that millions spend miserable lives in punjab just like any other part of pakistan. While I feel very sorry for the people who are caught in the floods, I just wish that the pseudo-intellectual nationalists enjoy floods in KPK and sindh since they don't want dams. In
I am surprised.
There are already many threads about Sindh ,Now a days.
This is not suitable time. However
Kala Bagh is no dubt a good project but the people of rest of Pakistan are not ready to trust on Takht e Lahore and establishment.
This is the only reason behind all mishaps.
Why do you think it's not a suitable time. 91 people have lost their lives just in last one week in Sind because of the floods. Don't you think it's high time we should try to understand their point of view on this important issue.
And try not to bring this hate talk takht Lahore etc if you are not capable of having any objective discussion..
A website containing various articles on Water management issues.
Its just not a political matter, there are also some technical matters in building Kala Bagh Dam which resulted opposition by leading parties in KP & Sindh including MQM.
Really important point; trust deficit between the provinces.
I am too a Punjabi 100% from Central Punjab.
No trust deficit among the provinces.
Trust deficit on Lahore and establishment.
If you can give me a single reason of merging Bahawalpur into Punjab against the agreement of Qauid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jennah. Thousands acts and we are never ashamed.
People of KP and Sindh were never happy on foolish agreement on rives with India.
Pakistan was not much weak those days.
A long story of foolish acts, cheating and greed.

This is not hate talk.
I look at your capability.
These 91 people were killed due to rains and no dam could be helpful in this position. You just got a chance to say your will.
And in KP Kala Bagh could not help regarding floods but it could increase their problem.
This is just another issue but you can not listen truth.

I am waiting for you to tell the truth... and please this time try to tell it in complete sentences and back it with facts...BTW, have you seen the feasibility report of KBD? and do you have any idea when it says building FLOOD-CANALS in KPK?
Just twisting .
No kala Bagh Dam could help saving these 91 lives any way.
And may be there some plan to build separate flood canals besides Kal Bagh but those can not help against rain water to upper area.
There should be some other restriction and measures to save them.
We are already troubled in KP and Baluchistan.
And a greedy,foolish alliance is ruling.
We can do a little for Pakistan at our stage only to stop talking on sensitive issues. Zardari is not representing Sindh. Now he is an establishment guy and damaging the PPP.
^^ I just simply asked you have you seen the feasibility of KBD? and do you know anything about the FLOOD-CANAL? from your reply, it seems like you don't know anything about it, so please continue...
1.They think that since the dam will be located in Punjab......punjab will make canals out of it......and steal the water........ and no ammount of guarantee/assurance will ever make them trust ever.
that river indus is sindhi's property........so nobody should be able to make a dam.
above two have been blown out of proportions by the polilticians to score political points......to such an extent that now its an ego problem rather than a technical issue.
What about technical issues raised by ppl from different fields? there is definitely a trust deficit on irrigation authorities, who are not even following the controversial accord of 1991 for water distribution.
The political parties just not come up with ethnic issues while opposing Kalabagh, they do state certain technical matters too. Anyone can read that objections in various articles posted on website:
Had Sindhi’s consider river Sindh as their outright property, then they should have shown same resistance at the time of Tarbela & Mangla Dams.
Thanks for correction, but what about Tarbela Dam, which is constructed on Indus. Had that also got that much objections from Sindh, KP & Balochistan.
By the time Tarbela was build was the same time when Kalabagh Dam was proposed and Nawab of Kalabagh was there to support it, in those times there were no resistance to the project but thanks to the delaying tactics which not only delayed this project but have delayed several other hydro-power projects through out the country.
Can you tell me when was the first resistance for the KBD project was seen?

Opposition of Kalabagh dam got public attention since mid 80's, but that does not mean that it was unanimously approved by all stakeholders since its inception. What do you think what made it that controversial that three provincial assemblies passed resolution against it. were these resolution were passed without any basis? Are there no alternatives?
