Pakistan should have objected and made a huge hue and cry. We don't. We are lazy. Our media and diplomats dont do their job. We are too busy killing each other or pursuing vendetta and hate politics, how can we have time to do the more important things.

India cares for herself and her image abroad, however much people may be suffering at home. Their investment is on self reliance and glory outwardly. People are used to such bad conditions they don't care and don't complain so long as they see the country is going to the moon.

Hope it is approved quickly and put here otherwise it gets stale and then there is no point.

According to Dawn editorial once it said it will cost $ 8 billion and it will generate 4,500 M'w of electricity. If that is the output and so much the cost it is not worth it. Scrap it. The location of the dam is such that you cannot have a network of canals from it.

It is much better to go tor a new technology Solar Electrical Generations. I can give you 5,000 MW of electricity at a mere 475 million dollars not 8 billion we are going to invest for 4,500 MW. All it needs is 31,000 acres of waste land any where in Baluchistan or Sindh or any where.

Think differently and explore avenues. We are doing something that ought to have been done 30 years back, when the cost was low not now. There is no sense in it. Go Solar.

good news, that means we will have more time to rescue/shift the precious rock carvings which will otherwise end up under water.

They did not ask for any funding or help from any one to build their 300 hydel projects. You can do the same.
