lol Dam always displaces people. looks like u dont know anything
yes but they should be compensated at the time and after..who would do that..? fedral govt runs away and provincial says that dont have funds..
i belong to ghazi region and have been personally affected without any compensation....
ask the people they hate it and they propagate the hate and which eventually results in people being aginst hydro projects. tarbela and kalabagh dam are very near and would be affected people know that it would be a catastrophe for them (as they learnt from ghazi-brotha affectes and tarbela affectes)
had people been compensated for their losses sufficiently they wouldnt have been against it...
let me give u a short example..people of tarbela now have to travel 3 hrs to district headquarter when previously the distance was merly 30 min..people around the ghazi brotha channel have to walk 5-10km to their homes from road due to lack of appropiate bridges which 1st would take a few mins..they could have easily been compensated by building bridges (that were in original model approved by worldbank for funding but late cut down when funding were received!)
another example, people used to get water through wells in the area but once a deep concrete channel was made the water went dry, coz natural water lanes were cut off by the channel...forget irrigation (which people were hoping) they cant even drink water, and govt didnt spent a penny to help them .the original project had small un concreted lanes to avoid this situation but was silently closed when sindh govt argued (meaning even water to natural seepage was stopped!, even though KPK isnt getting its share in irrigation in the 1st place)
also afterwords no welfare projects are done..
provincial govt simply states they dont get royalities and thus can do anything....
ask people around kalabagh areas that would be affected they wil give u example of these two projects even before u ask them a question, whether u support dams or not!?
thats the main reason why kalabagh dam couldnt be made..
apparently living in punjab mens u know nothing about dams...as dams cant be built in punjab anyway..and with this attitude not in any place without creating disgust
