[G W A D A R I]

Thnaxs to Sindh and PPP-GOV that freezed KALA BAGH DAM project

We can make 40 small / medium dams on Dariya-e-Sindh. And please stop blaming anybody for this disaster. We are all suffering. May Almighty God bless Pakistan and Peoples of Pakistan.

Coming to the point We need helicopters, why dont we ask China to help us in this regard.

Pakistan urgently need more helicopters, for disaster relief

Pakistan flood death toll 'passes 1,000'

The number of people known to have been killed by floods in north-west Pakistan has passed 1,000, officials say.

About 30,000 troops have joined the relief effort, with large parts of the north-west submerged by the worst monsoon rains in memory.

There are also fears that with more rain forecast for the next 24 hours, some areas face further threats.

The main north-south motorway has partially reopened, raising the prospect of aid reaching those trapped.

may ALLAH take care of all of us n helps us

If he had dams this time then this water would have served our glasses and fields but this was bound to happen since we have been making damns in the name of dams.

I hope those who created troubles in making more dams suffer the most from these floods rather than innocent people.

In a ideal world India would have helped being next door and access to helicopters too.

My heart breaks down to see such disaster on the top of daily carnages. Has GOP sent SOS to the world for urgently sending HELOS? Can Defense.pk admin open a donation box here, thanks?

This is the problem with South Asia pakistanis going to ask usa for helicopters when india is next door and can help within 24 hours but alas this is will never happen.

Y did our so -called friends 'Americans ' refused us chinooks ... what could be the possible logic ... chinooks can never pose a threat to any neighbouring country for heaven sake ...

 

[subanday]

We bought designer choppers from italy for our politicians.... but no heavy lifters for the poor of the nation

i salute sri lankan for his concern.....

Pervaiz Mushraf made a dame in Turbat on dariya-e-dasht named Mirani dame and this dame resulted a major flud in this region why this dame made 1000s of people homeless = there was no TV coverage and that is why whole world with rest of Pakistan was unable to exprience this.

I am very much in favour of dames but Kala Bagh dame being politicized and now should made by consensus. Sindh / Balochistan / Khyber Pakhtunkhowa all have reservations on this. Can anybody gurantee that after making these dams no flud happens??????????

THESE DAME ALSO MAKE 1000s OF PEOPLE HOMELESS. SMALL DAMES SHOULD BE MADE. HAVE YOUR SAY ON THIS.

Maybe Kalabagh dame will ease the flud in Punjab and Sindh what about khyber pakhtunkhowa as upper side.

Dames should be made in punjab and Khaiber pakhtoonkhowa but who is going to start????????????????????????????

 

[mkiyani]

dams needed to be build where ever they are needed.. stop saying punjab this and that... we are all one pakistani.. government needs to build these dams and should give more money to those people whoes land has been used for building these dams..

Hope some steps are taken to prevent such floods in the future. Let the souls of all the innocent people who lost their lives rest in peace.

India should have had taken up the matter with Pakistan to provide assistance

Come on we are all members of SAARC. We need to build up a multi national task force and send them for assistance.Provide logistic support helicopters, Rafts, Life jackets.

This is the real time for confidence building and showing solidarity.

We should ask US to provide some Chinooks on lease (let US Pilots fly them with Pakistani Guide).These Chinooks are huge and are stationed just across the border in Afghanistan.US also leased us many choppers during Earth Quake.In fact they did not charge money at all.

Well Mi-26 will be a much better option..I think Ukraine might have some of these...They carry much more than chinook and being russian are more rugged and economical for a heavy lifter..

But anything which helps to save some lives right now will be good..
