ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has warned of strong “resistance” if the controversial Kalabagh dam project is revived, terming such a move an “utter disrespect” to parliament and the people of the country.
PPP Senator Sassui Palijo said in a statement here on Sunday that the provincial assemblies of three provinces had rejected Kalabagh dam and “whoever will support this rejected dam will face strong resistance”.
Take a look: CJP hints at charging dam opponents with treason
The statement was issued by the party apparently in reaction to the remarks of Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar at a ceremony in Lahore on Saturday in which he had said that only Kalabagh dam “guaranteed the survival and security of Pakistan”.
The CJP stated that they had not stopped pursuing the matter of Kalabagh dam’s construction.
“If the nation agrees then we will also build Kalabagh dam after the construction of Diamer-Bhasha and Mohmand dams,” the CJP had reportedly said at the ceremony.
However, the PPP senator said that talking about Kalabagh dam amounted “to rubbing salt on the wounds of the people of Sindh”.
Ms Palijo said the people of Sindh were faced with acute shortage of water and only 30 per cent of land could be cultivated this year. She said that because of lack of water downstream Kotri barrage, thousands of land in Thatta and Badin had been eaten by the sea water.
It may be recalled that Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah had even expressed his reservations over the proposed construction of Diamer-Bhasha dam.
Talking to media in Karachi last week, the Sindh chief minister had stated that he was not against the construction of Bhasha dam but had “some reservations” over its “location and availability of water in the system” in such a quantity that the dam could be filled.
In reply to a question about the Bhasha dam, he had said it (the dam site) lay in the seismic area and the quantity of water required to fill the dam was not available in the (Indus) system.
Mr Shah had said that the Bhasha dam project was originally initiated by the PPP government, but objections were raised on its technical issues. Therefore, he insisted, “the Centre needs to take the federating units on board” over such controversial projects.
The chief minister said that his government and party’s policy on construction of dams was very clear as the Sindh government was constructing 34 small dams and work on them had almost been completed while work on 16 other (small) dams was to begin soon.
In May, the then opposition leader in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Shah, had even warned that the people of Sindh might have to close the province’s border and cut it from the rest of the country if it would continue to be denied its due water share. Mr Shah is also opposed to the idea of building dams through donations.

All those resisting Kalabagh Dam should be charged under Article#6 of the Constitution. The dam should be build as an agricultural, economic, security and defense issue. Pak military should called in as a protective measure.

Parties like PPP are the reason why we are now on the verge of water shortage. Even without Kalabagh dam Pakistan has seen massive flooding in recent years, it's all politics no scientific reasoning behind their opposition to Kalabagh dam. PPP should instead be answerable for the criminal negligence in Thar where so many kids have died because of malnutrition, Thar region is one of the hardest hit due to severe draught. Do i need anything else to prove the negative impact of these so called democratic parties? We need dams to protect our future!

Delta on Indus River near its joining of sea is not being created by any upstream dams in Punjab or elsewhere.,It is being created by the three barrages dams in Sindh ie Guddu at Kashmor, Sukkur and Kotri where flow of water is controlled and slowed as per requirements thus creating delta at the end of Indus. 35 small dams will also do the same.PPP in Sindh should finish and demolish all these instead of blaming or stopping dams in rest of the country.

Total live storage capacity of Kalabagh dam is 6.1 (MAF) and by applying following formula which is also known as Pakistani formula to workout total loss of water due to seepage of unlined water canals of Punjab we get a figure of about three times more than storage capacity of Kalabagh dam.
S = 5*Q^.0652*P*L/106
Where; S =seepage losses; Q = the discharge( ft^3//sec), P= the wet perimeter and L=length of channel in feet.
Also if we could save huge surface runoff of the catchment area of Baluchistan during the rainy season by building storage and delay action dams, we could get annually about 25 MAF of water, with very good alluvial soil the Baluchistan would become secured food basket for the middle east and Central Asia.
Similar lot of surface runoff wasted in southern KPK which could be used for irrigation by making small flood control and delay action dams.
Why we want to increase irrigation area of one province only and not taking benefits of controlled storm water of the other provinces.

"Ms Palijo said the people of Sindh were faced with acute shortage of water and only 30 per cent of land could be cultivated this year". This brings up the rationale for building a dam. Sindh is facing water shortage all year round as bulk of water is available for three months only. If it is stored, it can be used for the entire year.

So leave Sindh and the people without drinking water? They always have complaints and reservations on helping the people, never ever offer a solution, PPP needs to figure out a way to help the millions in Sindh, or it just might end up like another failure like the one in Punjab, where there is hardly any support left for PPP.

Good move by the PPP. Now is the best time to nab the leaders of this party under Article 6 and also expose the mega corruption its leaders have been engaged in, their sole occupation in Sindh.

Kalabagh Dam will be life line for the province of Sindh. Those opposing KBD are enemies of Sindh and working for other’s agenda because only India is taking advantage of delay of construction of KBD. KBD will never and cannot stop flow of river Indus water as its design shows. It will store only every 3rd year flood water and store it for the next 3 to 4 years, produce electricity. Absolutely in favor of all over Sindh. There will be no harm at all to Nowshehra city of KPK, as its water table lower further 10 feet, now it will be 20 feet, which is much safer for city. Even 10 feet was safe enough. Dam feasibility is ready, most ground work is ready, WAPDA engineers are familiar with site and basic design, some infra structure still exists, local villages’ relocation already done. It is low cost, and very easy to build this dam in 3 to 4 years. I request SC Pakistan, Parliament, Senate and PM to initiate this dam also on priorities.

Do we have the funds to construct Kala Bagh Dam? If not then why to waste energy in this useless debate that is counter productive to the national unity.

New Government should go ahead with their plan, no need to give any importance to those who oppose construction of dams. These people has done nothing in the last three decades and now they are out to pull PTI's legs.
