None of these people were compensatedThe argument is that it affected people from KPK the most. As usual if we had a competent gov we wouldn't be having these issues and things would go more smoothly.
There's also massive electricity theft in Sindh and Balochistan, which I have no idea which country's government lets that happen.
From The Third Pole:
Tarbela dam and community impacts
But a deeper look at Tarbela 5 shows a landscape and community that have suffered extreme harms that have not yet been righted. Tens of thousands of people were displaced between the 1960s and 1990s by two mega-hydropower projects, Tarbela and Gazi Brarotha. Most were subsistence farmers and fisher people. Tarbela alone submerged 120 villages. A case study for the World Commission on Dams documented significant problems with the resettlement of these affected people. To this day many thousands of families remain impoverished and are still seeking fair compensation and redress for their losses.
Learning hard lessons: AIIB and the Tarbela dam in Pakistan
Controversy over resettlement and land grabs show that the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank can’t simply hide behind World Bank co-financing and standards to deliver its green development, writes Kate Gearywww.thethirdpole.net
Some were given land but the land was never handed over to them and is still occupied by FARMERS IN PUNJAB AND SINDH(where they got the land)
Looking at tarbela I doubt we will be able to build another dam
It's case report of how locals were screwed and then the province was double screwed
And as you saw no other dam was ever built
!!
Which bags the question!!??I know that's where I'm from personally...
In what universe do you decide the electricity production based upon location of power house!!?
It makes literally No sense at all
But again what does make sense here!
Nothing
Ironically few billions of extra revenue won't change anything for punjab but rule of law due process will change alot in perception
