IF they had started the actual building of the dam then around about now it would have been near completion! BUT why didn't they start it and say that it is on the back burner till 2037! Buying land and actually starting the project where the necessary aggregate is done was NEVER started! It was a takhti hanging procedure for vote batroney
Bhasha Dam delayed till 2037
July 9, 2014
LAHORE: The commissioning of multi-purpose Diamer Bhasha Dam on River Indus has been postponed by another about 17 years as this mega project, having strategic importance, is now expected to be completed in the year 2037 instead of 2020, literally converting the water crisis into an existential threat to the country.
According to documents available with The News, the Dasu Hydropower Project is being given preference to the Diamer Bhasha Dam, ignoring imminent threat of water shortage and floods.

Are you sure that mian did tendering for Mohmand dam?? The project has many hands in it but the actual construction started now!!!
"The project was handed over to the private sector in 2002 that failed to construct the dam and wasted seven years," he explained. "Consequently, the project was given back to Wapda in 2007." Durrani added that the French Development Agency (AFD) granted $8 million to conduct the dam's feasibility study, and gave another $1 million to carry out research on its environmental impact.
Pakistan's first hydroelectric power development policy was designed in 1995, while the second and third policies were introduced in 2002 and 2013, respectively. During the tenure of the PML-N, power plants with a cumulative capacity of over 10,000 MW became operational under the CPEC, but none of the plants generated hydroelectric power.
The feasibility study of the dam was completed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in March 2000, whereas its detailed engineering design was completed in April of 2017. The Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved the dam's PC-1 amounting to Rs309, 558 billion during a meeting on April 26, 2018, while the government released Rs17 billion for the ongoing financial year 2018-19 to construct the dam. Moreover, 818 acres of land has been allocated to Wapda in relation to the construction of the dam.
