Mr Kaira, who also holds the portfolio of Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas, praised people of the region for their cooperation and sacrifices during the process of approval of the project.
‘Not a single voice was raised from the people of the Northern Areas against this project and I assure them that their genuine demands regarding compensation and settlement will be addressed on a priority basis.’
He said preference would be given to local people for employment in the project. The minister said royalty would be paid in accordance with the Constitution. He said work on land acquisition would begin within three months.
In reply to a question, he said generating funds for the project would not pose a problem because international financial institutions had expressed their interest in financing it. He said all stakeholders had been consulted before the project’s approval.

Ahem, the water flows downstream into Pakistan, so they can't divert it away from Indian Kashmir.
All they will do is end up flooding the upstream areas.

Does the author of that article have any idea of the location of that dam?
This dam will be built on river Indus at the location of Basha and in down stream, there is NWFP province. There is no way that it could flood Kashmir or Jumu. It is not the violation of Indus Treaty.
We love people of Kashmir and there is no harm to them or any one else.
Is there any problem to India, in taking help from China?

india would protest any development project in Pakistan. I think they would soon start protesting why Pakistanis receive monsoon as it crosses India first. They would object to our inhaling oxygen. Poor souls. Why is it so that indian cry a lot over everything.

these ppl Indians r rightly "pani Chor" they r constructing Dams stealing water from Pak, Nepal and Tipaimukh Dam & Fulertal Barrage stopping Bengali waters,India has resumed construction of the Tipaimukh dam on the Barack River which ends a kilometer north of Jakiganj in Sylhet division in the north-east of Bangladesh. The river then divide into two – the Surma and Kushiara before entering Bangladesh.The dam construction work was stalled in March 2007 in the face of protests within and outside India. The Tipaimukh dam will be built 200 km from the Amolshid border, at Jakiganj, to construct a 162.5M water reservoir for hydro-power generation. The dam when completed in 2012 is supposed to provide 1500 megawatts (actually 400 MW) of power to the Indian state of Assam barrage is to be built 100 km from the Bangladesh border at Fulertal in India on same river for irrigation purposes.These two arrangements on the same Barrack River will bring a major disaster for Bangladesh, practically contributing to the drying up of 350 km long Surma and the 110 km long Kushiara Rivers which water most of the north-eastern regions of Bangladesh. As a result agriculture in large portions of Bangladesh will be affected, particularly in winter,n 1976 India put into operation the Farakka dam which more or less destroyed the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin, most of which lies in the deltaic plains of Bangladesh and in 1990 India also constructed a dam along the Teesta river thereby virtually making ineffective much of the Teesta dam project constructed down-stream in Bangladesh to support irrigation and agriculture in the north-west region of the country. India has evolved plans to divert waters, from the north of the country to its drought-prone southern and eastern states.Although the Indian and Bangladeshi governments have a water sharing agreement for the Ganges, there are none for the other 53 rivers that cross the border. With the Tipaimukh dam now underway, India seems to be going ahead with its mega-project of diverting river waters from its north to its south and east, thereby putting Bangladesh’s very survival at stake.
and for Nepal here is a link The Kosi river was once known as the sorrow of India's eastern state of Bihar - but it has now become Nepal's sorrow, This damwould flood forests and cultivated areas, and cause compulsory resettlement of people in Nepal

and we all know about Baglihar & violation of Indus water treaty& Plz Indians no need to cry over our project u ppl have to literally cry on everything tht Pak does, Pani Chors have no right to cry over Basha Dam, look at your selves first. and there is no way its going to Flood kashmir..
