Yes there was a survey done and it was decided not to de-silt as it would have adverse affect on the turbines as well as downstream barrages. Also it won't be cost effective. Building dams/reservoirs is important for any country for storage of water and flood mitigation. The irrigation practice...

Yes the project could last for a long time but the water storage capacity will be reduced and eventually it will become a ROR dam.

By the time these two nations will get wise it will be 2050 and if we are to follow above scenario of doom then it will be too late! As I understand it will be scarcity of fresh water before fossil fuels which will bring anarchy to the masses in subcontinent. Thank you Sir. Hence some of the...

Interesting. Some say oil production peaked in 1980? @niaz (you can enlighten us) I will say if you are talking about a society where technology is at the forefront then do you not think humans will find better ways to extract the fossil fuels which may delay the peak oil further. One also need...

I think even if we apply a flat rate of 2.0 births per woman (replacement rate) we will still end up with a population of about 190 million. So in my opinion it is wishful thinking of having a population of 160 million.

I am not sure about Pakistan but in UK there are standing charges which apply daily regardless of the amount of energy used (gas or electricity). For example British Gas charges about £95 for each per annum (gas and electricity). GoP has given subsidies to consumers for a very long time. I can...

Sir how do you propose to reduce population and what kind of timeline do you give? I think 180m is outdated figure. It maybe that we are around 200m already. Can artificial gravity be created in space which should solve some of the problems? Same magnetic field can be generated for a spaceship...

Haha yes could try. Good idea thanks :)

Yeah true. I could try but as I said it probably be more expensive for the first case but second case most definitely it is going to media.

Hence I explained above that the ruling elite need to learn from the west before the populace start going after them. The land issues are not in media as we haven't contacted any media outlet. It will only add to cost and nothing will be resolved. As I said in my post a deal will be struck at...

That is the case in western societies. The upper echelon will get away with murder and no one will know as they have hold on media as well. When it comes to Pakistan the average people don't get justice hence the frustration.

Below sums up the current western democracy: but there is some accountability as well as law & order plus swift justice. Introduce these in Pakistan and it will fix most of the ills if not all.

What change do you want? Electoral system could do with a reform but how do you change people's perception? I have explained this many times on this forum that people follow their cast/chaudary/family to vote. So the whole household/cast/village will vote for xyz if the head said so..... This...

@Blue Marlin There are several projects where initial feasibility studies are done and not initiated due to no funding. Bunji (7100MW), Dasu (4350MW), Basha(4500MW) alone could take care of all the power needs of today for the entire country.... Basha has 6.4 MAF (million acre feet) capacity...

Not sure what kind of disability but if he can drive the car as normal than I see no reason to not hire him.

I am hoping the change come from the current and next generation of these feudals along the lines of western formula (it will be easier to implement as well as quicker and everyone will be happy). It is a sad narration but many will have to live with it. Risk of losing all their life savings in...

I don't expect Justice to be served in this case but these people are after money (so a deal will be struck at some point and the case will be dropped hopefully). BTW a very prominent family is involved in the first case and they have close links to IK!!!! Sir these feudals are losing their...

Well I will try to explain: (I can name and shame if you want) Back in 1992-3 my dad bought some land from a feudal (agreement was for 25 acres for x amount of money. When the money was paid the feudal refused to transfer the land but long story short he was paid y amount and transaction was...

Sir I already have more invested in Pakistan than UK (where I reside). So stakes are high for me and I am hopeful it will get better. So I am probably helping Pakistan (Indirectly) more than I would be able to while/if I reside there. I may even move back depending on how my family circumstances...

Sir it is OK to be optimistic. A lot has been achieved since 1947 and I am hopeful it will be much more while I am alive. Literacy rates from below 10% to ~58%. I acknowledge the problems but hope is the only thing which make the humans keep going. So for the next 50 years my hopes are not...
