ISLAMABAD, (SANA): Minister for Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar has said that the Kalabagh dam project would be started after taking into confidence the whole nation, adding that the 3600 MW electricity would be produced from the project and it would have the capacity to reserve 6.1 million acre water.
This he said while answering questions in National Assembly on Thursday, adding that the government has devised a two-pronged strategy focusing on electricity generation and conservation to control load-shedding during the upcoming months.
Syed Naveed Qamar said that under this strategy 1184 megawatt will shortly be added into the system to boost generation capacity. He said that conservation measures such as replacement of bulbs with energy savers and elimination of alternate street lights and non-supply of powers to
billboards neon signs.
He said under this policy closure of market and shops at 8.00 pm will be ensured. He said these steps will help save one thousand to eleven thousand megawatt of electricity.
He said that a project for installation of 1000 megawatt of electricity from Thar coal has been started which will be completed with public-private partnership. This project at an advance stage and efforts are being made to raise adequate funds for this important
project.
Responding to a supplementary question the Minister said that the present government has initiated unprecedented number of hydel power projects which include construction of both big and small water reservoirs. He said that an agreement has been signed with the Chinese government for the construction of five small and medium
irrigation dams.
The Minister said rising of Mangla Dam has almost been completed while capacity of Tarbela Dam will also be enhanced to generate additional electricity.
Federal Minister Syed Khurshid Ahmed Shah said that a poverty survey is underway to expand the scope of Wasila-e-Haq Programme and make it more transparent.
He said that under the programme interest-free loan of three hundred thousand rupees has been disbursed to six hundred and fifty-five deserving persons while another 535 cases are ready for disbursement in the next few days.

Diamer-Bhasha Dam: ADB asks govt to focus on people, not just water, power
By Shahbaz Rana
Published: December 14, 2011
ISLAMABAD:
While Pakistan frets over megawatts generated and million acre feet of water stored, the lead financer of the Diamer-Bhasha Dam says the country should focus on social aspects of the affected population and address issues of environmental degradation and revenue sharing between contesting territories.
With an estimated price tag of $11.2 billion, the project is planned to be completed in 12 years. It will generate 4,500 megawatts of electricity, besides storing 8.5 million-acre-feet of water for agriculture purposes.
Satisfactory resettlement
“Pakistan has not been focusing on social aspects of the project as much as one could hope,” said Rune Stroem, the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Head of Energy Division on Tuesday.
“The resettlement work has been done but there are still gaps where the government needs to bring in improvement as per international standards,” Stroem said while speaking to journalists along with the bank’s country director to Pakistan, Werner Liepach, after conclusion of a visit aimed at ‘critically reviewing the mega project’.
Stroem said the project’s success hangs on local people’s satisfaction with resettlement activities.
Stroem said the legal dispute over sharing of revenues between Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber-Pakthunkhwa has to be worked through and “no sufficient work has been done yet” on environment.
“The ADB is fully aware that there will be strong debate on revenue sharing and we can give advice but at the end the issue will have to be decided by the Council of Common Interest,” Stroem said.
The K-P and G-B governments are disputing over the ownership of an 18-kilometre-long belt, in a bid to receive a share in income from power generation.
The G-B Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution against the K-P government’s claim and intends to take the matter to the Supreme Court if it is not amicably resolved.
Stroem also said that there was a need to ensure minimum water flows, during the storage period, to offset negative impact on the environment. No water flows at the time of construction and storage will have adverse effects, he added.
Bank’s role
An unwritten agreement has been arrived at between the bank and the government, according to which the ADB will be a senior lender, co-financer and the financial adviser on the project, Stroem said.
Next week, both parties will review the draft of the Memorandum of Understanding that clearly defines the bank’s role in project execution, he added.

Politicising Kalabagh Dam costs Rs132 billion annually
By Shahram Haq
Published: May 22, 2012
COST-EFFECTIVE: Rs1.2 per unit is to be the cost of generating electricity from the Kalabagh Dam.
LAHORE:
Those who disagree with the construction of the Kalabagh Dam are actually hurting the federation, former chief minister Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Shamsul Mulk has said. The project is safe, and yet the country is suffering a loss of Rs132 billion annually due to the governments silence over the issue, he claimed.
Mulk was speaking at a debate on the Kalabagh Dam issue arranged by the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industries (LCCI) on Monday. Speakers at the moot advocated the early construction of Kalabagh Dam, and said building the dam is necessary for the survival of Pakistan. If the government fails to take practical steps, poverty and hunger may lead the country to disaster from which it may not recover, they claimed. The experts agreed that those opposing construction of the Kalabagh Dam were enemies of the state and were playing with the countrys future.
Shamsul Mulk said that, contrary to belief, there is no flood threat to Nowshera city from the Kalabagh Dam, as the former is 150 feet above water level. Nowshehra was inundated during the 2010 floods, despite the fact that Kalabagh hasnt been built. This fact is enough to silence detractors.
Mulk, who is also a former chairman of the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda), dismissed the incumbent provincial government of K-P; saying they do not represent the majority of the indigenous population. He said he could not understand why a project which will bring prosperity, economic growth and water availability for crops in K-P and Pakistan was being opposed by it.
The Kalabagh Dam was planned with an annual generation capacity of 12 billion units of electricity, costing of Rs1.2 per unit, he sain. Due incessant delays in the construction of the dam, Wapda fulfils demand by generating electricity using expensive fuel, which costs the nation Rs132 billion annually, he maintained. Taxpayers from Punjab pay Rs66 billion; from Sindh Rs30 billion; from K-P Rs18 billion; and from Balochistan pay Rs6 billion additionally. These costs have arisen due to the politicising of the construction of the dam, he said. No one talks about this issue, which contributes significantly to circular debt each year, he complained.
He said the Kalabagh Dam will not be beneficial to Punjab alone, but will also help erase poverty from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa as it will bring 800,000 acres of cultivable land located 100-150 feet above the Indus river level under irrigation. He said this land can only be cultivated if the river level is raised which is possible only if Kalabagh Dam is built. Credible studies indicate that pumping water for cultivating land in that area will cost farmers Rs5,000 per acre ever year; while irrigation using canal water after the construction of Kalabagh Dam will cost only Rs400 per acre, Mulk maintained.
He said the issue has been politicised to a degree that a consensus seems impossible. The political leadership is manipulating the issue for their personal gains, he accused. Pakistans problems are not really the problems of Pakistani rulers; so they never make concrete projects for the country, he said. Civil society will have to play a crucial role in creating a larger consensus, as larger water reservoirs will benefit every Pakistani, he concluded.

250KV Kalash Hydropower Project Construction Work Inaugurated
The construction work on 250KV Kalash hydro power project was inaugurated in Kalash valley for electrification the entire valley. A function was held in this connection where District Co-ordination Officer (DCO) Chitral Rahmatullah Wazir was the chief guest.
Addressing the occasion Engineer Temour Shah, co-ordinator of Rural Community Development Programme (RCDP) informed that new Kalash hydro power project will bring revolutionary change in Kalash valley. He thanked the USAID and National Rural Support Programme for providing financial assistance for the power house.
He said the district administration was encouraged all those organizations and donors who donate and invest in Chitral for uplift of this backward district. He said Chitral has the potential to generate 10,000MW electricity, adding, the provincial government had also kicked of a number of hydro power projects in the entire district. He said these projects on completion will bring a bright future for Chitral.
The city of Chitral which is blessed with huge reserves of black and white marble of fine quality. According to experts, the quality of Chtiral`s marble is comparable to that of Italian marble.
Development of marble reserves is essential for the socio-economic uplift of the people of Chitral. Preferably, some of the marble reserves in Chitral should be leased out to an inland or a foreign company of repute to set up factories within Chitral to make marble tiles and fancy products for sale within the country as well as for export purposes.
It is expected that the under-construction Lowari Tunnel will be ready in three to four years time and this will provide an all-weather road between Chitral and Dir for the easy carriage of marble products from Chitral, round the year.

Although 250kv or 0.25 megawatt is not too much but it is good to hear these small projects running within the village/district/town. Qatray-qatray se darya banta hai and if people are coming forward to solve their problems within their minor capacities - it will ultimately make a big difference for the country
