Kalabagh dam

Published May 22, 2015

THIS refers to Azmat Ansari’s letter ‘Kalabagh dam’ (May 15). I fully agree with the writer that the Kalabagh dam should be built as it offers the best option in terms of cost and time-frame required for completion.

The dam will benefit both Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from where the dissenting voices are heard.

The government should start work on this project on a war footing.
