Pervez khattak opposes kalabagh dam

[datalibdaz]

Kalabagh would remain an issue...

1) Nowshera and surroundings are already flood prone areas...Building KBD would increase the flood factor multiple times..
2) All the land are rich for agriculture, and many people source of income is tied to these lands..
3) Most of renowned politician and military personal lands are located there and hence really high price of land...

There are many many other large Hydropower projects ready for construction...Instead wasting time on KBD move on to other projects...

@hasnain0099

Dams always flood areas. Tarbela did it, Mangla did it, Bhasha will do, and so will KBD.

Yeah the area above KBD is a bit more populated. But in such cases, fare market value is paid to the property owners.

I said its not about these issues. The political score of anti KBD politics is way more significant than the benefits to the political parties. Leave ANP and KPK aside, PPPP explicitly mentioned scrapping KBD as one of its achievements in her electoral campaign in Sindh. But Ironic enough that when the both KPK and Sindh were hit by floods, None of the political point scorers were there to help and rehabilitate the effectees. Even the so called "Sindhi Nationalists" were seen no where and were merely confined to holding a press conference. Had KBD been constructed, 4500MV cheap electricity would have been entered into the system. Even when the council of common interest agreed on building the KBD after design changes, the popular politics in streets sells against it.

true that other projects can be worked out.

but do you see where kalabagh is and how exactly do you think in your right mind that it would effect the above mentioned cities... its just that status quo parties play on our fears... nothing more.

 

[Marwat Khan Lodhi]

I can assure you when money talks, everybody listens !!

what else is the issue then? peshawar,nowshera, mardan would be drawn?

Our issue is not like sindh, our concerns are genuine....
nowshera and parts of peshawer and mardan would submerge...the lands of peshawer valley would become useless for agriculture...and when flood will come, destructions peshawer valley would be many times greater...unlike sindh and punjab, kpk may flood sey bohat tabahi aati he, paani may tughiani taiz hota hey.

@Pak-one

Upper parts close to dam lakes of Mangla and Tarbela do not suffer from excessive flooding.

Let's not spread falsehood like MQM or Altaf mota chor Bhatta khor

Kalabagh is comparitively at higher altitude than peshawer valley. While in case of tarbela and mangla, the regions above the dam are at higher altitude.

Go ahead for dam construction require following approvals

1)Technical assessments
2) Economic and financial Analysis
3) Environmental Assessment
4) Resettlement plan

My father is an Hydropower Expert and according to him the third and fourth point of KBD are not feasible...Although the technical and economic are more sound...

 

[Spring Onion]

KBD can be revived only if Punjab offers to share (or Totally give up) royalty with KP and sindh.

And I think if they do, it can be a sweat deal for all the parties.

No city is going to drown neither any pathan gives votes on basis of Kala Bagh dam.

The Center must go with the project. The country needs electricty.

NOW the real issue

ROYALTY.

PML N should allow the Royalty to the provinces that is KP and Sindh who are the righful owners. Simple as that.

the main isssue is the money and land of those political figures which will be affected by the dam in KP. NOT the comon cities.

And even if Nowshera or charsadda is going to drown the RELOCATE The population.

After all we (my grandparents) gave up a HUGE land for Tarbela Dam not took even a penny.

And after all Balakot was relocated after the deadly eartquake.

 

[Marwat Khan Lodhi]

Southern districts of KPK would benefit from kalabagh dam but its leaders are opposing it because it would be disastrous for pakhtuns of peshawer valley.

Technical issue.

to be solved by expert engineers and not corrupt politicians.


Dam is there to control the flow of water. More water open gates. less water close gates.

Sir Gee

good luck for your peshawer. Mera kya jata hey? .I belong to southern district and kalabagh would actually benefit us yet we are against it because it would damage peshawer valley...apnay khandan ka nuqsan tarbela may howa ta, dosro ka bi karna chahti ho?

Center cant go ahead alone on this project. Center is supposed to be neutral and will likely remain neutral on such contravertial issues unless it doesn't get political support from all the provinces which it is not getting. This would make playing provincial cards much easier for political parties (especially nationalists). So proceeding KBD all alone is politically a dangerous venture

humor me!

If Dam can't be used to control water flow then

How do you control the water in the lake in case there are accessive rains upriver?

By playing music?
