After 50 years, Bhasha, Dasu, Mohmand dams are being built. When there are dams, the rain water can be controlled. In 50 years, no government has thought of building a dam in the country. I ask all the governments that have come. Why didn't you guys think? Imran Khan's speech in Jhelum
Jhelum (Urdu Point Newspaper Latest. 27 August 2022) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has said that Pakistan has made a big mistake by not building a dam. Our government has started building 10 dams in Pakistan. are being built, when there are dams, rainwater can be controlled, in 50 years no government has thought of building a dam in the country, I ask all the governments that have come, why you people did not think of it.
Addressing a public meeting in Jhelum, he said that Allah has put us to a great test, Allah tests His people and creation, Allah has tested us, we all have to promise before Allah that we will You will not fail in this exam, our people are in trouble, there is flood everywhere including Swat, Gilgit, I could not go to Taunsa, Rajanpur, DG Khan, there is also a sea of water here, people have done their hard work. Crops were grown but water came, all areas of Balochistan were affected. People are in a bad situation in Sindh. The nation fights this test together. The government tries as much as it wants until the nation is united, there is no success.
When the flood happened in 2010, we tried hard, everyone, including overseas Pakistanis, appeared for the exam and passed the exam. I want to tell the nation that we have to face it together. First of all, we have started gathering the volunteer force Tiger Force, its membership, we are gathering a large force that will help the governments. He said that I will hold a telethon on Monday evening and collect money from Pakistanis inside and outside, then Sania Nishtar will be placed on top of this fund and then the funds will be distributed among the beneficiaries.
Similarly, we have to plan for the future. We will build dams, I am proud we have started 10 dams in Pakistan in three and half years, after 50 years big dams are built in Pakistan, Bhasha Dams, Dasu, and Mohmand Dam are being built. Mohmand Dam will be built by 2025. Dams store water. Then that water becomes a blessing in disguise. He said that there are 80,000 dams in China, there are 5,000 big dams, we have only constructed two dams, Mangala and Tarbela. I ask the previous governments that they never thought of building dams. For the first time, the PTI government made plans to build 10 dams.
