Hi .
Government is spending lot of amount on punjab development under cpec project such as orange metro, Bahawalpur park, motorways for punjab but there's hardly any news about such development in balochistan, leave balochistan I'm still waiting to see any welfare steps taken for gawadar people, instead government cancelled the electricity project for balochistan and gave it to sindh . Do you call this justice or development? People of balochistan and Fata are continously asking what's for us in cpec but government fills the mouths of our politicians with money and shut them up .
This punjabistan policy is going to get this country into a trouble if it continued favouring specific areas in this great project . Noted if this time pakistan continued injustice with balochistan in terms of development then it's going to create more ethinic leaders and separatists in balochistan , including me .
Gwadar is present in Balochistan, and people are facing acute drinking water shortage after a three years drought in the arid province of Balochistan. With the passage of time the water crisis is emerging rapidly with leaving around 100,000 people with no access to clean drinking water. The native of Gwadar are compel to buy expensive water (USD 115 to 140) per tanker or wait for the government subsidized water transported from 80 kilometers away. It is not first time that Gwadar is facing water shortage rather it is second time that Gwadar and the surrounding areas of Balochistan province have faced major water shortages in almost six years.
Unfortunately, the small children, women and the poor are suffering badly by the water shortage. The women and children take jars and bucket on their heads to carry out water from miles away to meet their domestic needs and travel from far places to wash their clothes. The Akara Kaur dam is the only root to provide water to Gwadar and near areas. The dam has almost dried up because of the prolonged drought. The dam was built in 1990, since that the people have used the water for their needs, but now it has failed to keep up the water demand of the city.
Whenever the problems of Gwadar are raised, so our leaders just take the name of CPEC that it will be the source of development of Gwadar. Around 46 billion is going to be spent on this project. The city’s population is also increasing due to CPEC project, so the crisis will become more severe unless no action would be taken by the government side. Many promises have been made for Gwadar, actually no one know what would happen after the establishment of CPEC.
The questions are rising that will CPEC project promote Balochistan? Leave Balochistan will it develop Gwadar where the project itself is present? The poor people are continuously suffering from problems including water shortage, but nothing is being done for the people. Water is the basic need of every human being, so government is failed to provide the water, means the basic requirement of the Gwadar people are not being provided then how government will provide other facilities? Gwadar has become known to the entire world due to the multibillion CPEC project, but no one know how its population is suffering from water shortage. In spite of CPEC present in Gwadar, the other cities are getting profits from it. The large metro projects are being constructed in Lahore with the investment of over one billion dollars under CPEC. Should CPEC be called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor or China-Punjab Economic Corridor.
The profits which other cities including are receiving if half of these funds would be spend toward water supply project in Gwadar then the problems of Gwadar would be resolved soon. If not then there will be humanitarian crisis in the city. The water shortage is a huge problem for the citizens of Gwadar that the provincial government is failed to resolve it. The tanker mafia are taking benefits from this, and they are looting the poor people. Even some poor people cannot afford three times of food, so how can they buy water? Before it was announced that work on the two dams had been resumed under the scheme of CPEC, and it would be completed in 2018. Still people should wait for two years to have water. The citizens are facing umpteenth problems and they need dire help. Still our leaders are making untrue promises for Gwadar.
According to a news that once a people stole water from a house. The people of Gwadar are stealing water instead of gold, money and other things, isn’t it shocking? The government should think that now the people are compel to steal water, means they are dire need of water. Here the government should work to provide water to the citizens of Gwadar. The concern authorities should also confirm that the CPEC project will profit Gwadar and the citizens of Gwadar will not face any problems further in future.
