4,500 MW would be tremendous boost to Industrial Revolution in country

• Government should start to change transmission lines to further boost delivery and control of Electricity
• Develop Storage facilities to save the Excess energy produced

1.5 Million Acres (1,500,000) of Agricultural Land addition would be massive game changer for food production in country

1998 was difficult times. It's not like Heaven guardian now but certainly better than those days .. we were isolated, and we were under sanctions. All type of sanctions.

Pakistan was under military sanctions not economic sanctions
We negotiated several IMF ptograms in 1990s and had billions of dollars in exports to USA

It wasnt like iran

So i dont know why people blame the 1990s bankrupcy on sanctions

Sure it wasnt like 2010s where we had 2+b$ aid following, but it was like these days(isolated from america)

Well I had a mind and comprehension abilities of a 5 years old at that time as I was 5 years old so can't really remember what was happening on national level. But sure I hear voices saying 1998-2002 was bad times for Pakistan. Like Pakistan "Saalimiyat" was always at risk as we heard these voicesany times saying "Pakistan apni tareekh Kay nazuk for se guzar Raha Hy". But if you have to shortlist, I am sure that period will among top 3, along 2008-2013 period.

Wheat was banned to be allowed to go to KPK in 1998..wheat was literally not availble for months

I know about the wheat embargo on KP from Punjab. I am also aware of the wheat embargo in ANP government when Punjab again banned transport of wheat to KP. Around 2009-10 I guess, or was it 2008-9. Everyone in KP know that. No one forgot that.

At the first wheat crisis, only the urban area was effected mainly because at that time majority rural class used to cultivate wheat and use it for consumption. So the effect was maybe felt by 50% of KP population. But in the last wheat embargo almost 100% of KP population was effected because majority people stoped farming. Farming is not one of the major jobs in KP now. As we have less land as well as less land per farmer which make farming expensive and not feasible.
