Bigger bowl, please?

M Khan Sial talks of a bigger begging bowl. If people like him keep opposing Kalabagh dam then of course we will need a bigger begging bowl. Look at the Economic Survey: growth down, investment down, inflation up, foreign debt up, domestic debt up, poverty up, unemployment up. And yet we will not build a dam which will increase irrigation supplies both for Sindh and Punjab by 2.2 million acre feet. Also generate 3600 megawatts of power for all. KHURSHID ANWER, Lahore, June 3.
