KARACHI, Feb 3: Experts at the two-day workshop held to devise a detailed management plan for the Hingol National Park, the country’s largest destination of its sorts, maintained that Hingol Dam would not fare well and even prove disastrous if constructed over the Hingol River.

“The location is made up of mud-mountains and menaced with salinity due to which the dam would fill up in a few years and ultimately become counterproductive,” Bashir Hussain Shah, a senior consultant having expertise in water resources and management of national parks, told Dawn after the seminar concluded.

He said the participants had also shared views on that project and there was a consensus view that such a project would prove counterproductive in the end.

The workshop was organised by the Forests and Wildlife Department, Balochistan.
