‘India plans to deprive Pakistan of water’

LAHORE: India has constructed 60 dams on rivers Jehlum, Chenab besides two other rivers to deprive Pakistan of water and the country would face acute water shortage in the coming years, said the chief organizer, Sind Tass Water Council of Pakistan, Mian Azizul Haq Qureshi. Addressing a press conference at Lahore Press Club on along with the other members of the council including council chairman, Zahoorul Hasan Dahir, Engineer Salman and others Thursday. Qureshi said the government has made a blunder by shelving Kalabagh Dam. He said India has violated the Indian Water Basin Treaty by constructing dams on the Pakistani rivers. "India has chalked out a mega plan with the help of Jewish lobby and international NGOs to build dams on the rivers flowing towards Pakistan from Kashmir and Kargil," he alleged adding that at present the nation has been facing a shortage of electricity due to the shortage of water in the rivers of the country. Mr Qureshi said shelving the Kalabagh Dam project after sending billions of rupees was the imprudent step of the present government, as the country needs this dam very much in this critical situation. He said the World Bank has promised Pakistan that it would cooperate in building three dams in the country and Kalabagh Dam was at the top on the list but it was not finalized after passing almost 30 years. "India is planning to build more dams on the rivers flowing towards Pakistan and also planning to divert the flow of water towards its own land," he said adding that the Indian side since 1947 was standing on one point agenda to destroy Pakistan and for that they are not ready to accept any appeal of the country. "The recent unsuccessful negotiations between Pakistan and Indian Water Board was the proof of stubborn attitude of the Indian authorities towards Pakistan," he added. He said at present the water level of the country has reached at an alarming level, while the nation has also been facing a shortage of electricity and it was very important to build new dams and water reservoirs. staff report
