This dam has been shelved on account of security and heritage point of view.Well, submerging the whole of Skardu is no option IMO.
Beter to go ahead with Bhasha and Kalabagh and other dams.
This dam is at the top of Pakistan. Its construction will submerge the whole skardu valley. Secodly this dam will be like a bomb shell for Entire pakistan. Its very close to indian boarder.
It has water capacity equiavalent to 5 times of tarbella.
In case of war, a single missle attack on the dam will submerge whole kpk, GB and punjab.
More over the project site is a high sesmic region. Making it vulnerable to damage.
