The first article on KBD has appeared written by no one else than Chairman WAPDA on which he should be congratulated by the nation as he has proved to be a momin who has spoken in the tradition of Surah”Momin” in the Holy Quran who spoke the truth in the Court of Pharaoh of Egypt – super power of the day. Chairman WAPDA has raised core issue of dam in that there is agreement on the same river Indus for making a dam at Bhasha site while the three provinces of Sindh, KPK and Baluchistan do not appear to agree on KBD site in Punjab.
The author has raised a question as to why a nation building project has been made controversial in spite of being the best site for a dam while there is no confirmed funding for Bhasha dam which is located on a difficult site prone to earthquakes.
