Fund Raising Status for Diamer Basha And Mohmand Dam

even if you depend on your local construction industry ,you have to procure equipment , machinery , design, from other countries , you have to purchase all these things in dollars , cost is mostly affected by fuel oil which you will get only in dollars . big dam projects are very prone to cost overrun , sometimes they cross over up to 400 percent , if construction period escalates again it affects cost of the project .
but this is good step you people have taken the first step towards the journey .
sorry for the above message and i appreciate that you delivered a positive msg but i took the wrong meaning of it..

You are right just the first step...

The following is the list of all the steps to be completed on Indus Basin:

Skardu Dam
Tungus Hydropower Project
Yulbo Hydropower Project
Bunji Dam
Diamer-Bhasha Dam (Being started)
Patan hydropower Project
Thakot Hydropower Project
Kalabagh Dam

Tarbela Dam Extension-5
Dasu Dam- Stage 2
 
.
Pakistani army should be given the job with help of Pakistani prisoners free labor and Chinese engineers

very good ,
better to go for hydropower , than thermal .

Also the cost is higher because about 106 km of karakorum highway will submerge as a result of lake formed for this dam. The cost of realignment of Karakorum highway is also factored into this number.

construction of highway is another big project .this i suppose is high altitude road ?
 
. .
Yes in the Karakorum range at that..

high altitude road construction involves temperature issues . sometimes under freezing conditions .very tough .chinese are master of such techniques .

Yes both Chinese and FWO are capable to do the work.

FWO is pakistani engineering organisation for road works ?

good decision but there should be regular checks to ensure donated money is not subject to corruption as it is easy to steal donated money
 
.
This will only be successful if IK becomes the prime minister and urges people to donate money for the Dams. The money needed for the first phase is $ 4 Billion. Money is not needed all at once, every year $ 2-3 Billion would be needed. Government can set up separate fund for overseas Pakistanis. Also the money collected should have a live counter, once they have collected $ 4 Billion for this year they should put the campaign on hold, the way IK and his team collects money for Shaukat Khanum Cancer hospitals.

A committee should be made who should make recommendations with regards to fund collection for same. This committee should be headed by some one who has good repute among the general public. The domain of the committee should also include collection of funds in the form of grants from different organizations world wide.

If Pakistan takes this issue as a challenge, in no time they ll get over this issue and if PTI's government successfully completes Dam construction, they ll win 2023 elections too.

This is good indeed but i think sc should put this in as a tax 100 rupes in per electricity bill or so as water will be used by every person.

What is the target in rupees figure for these dams?

A bad idea. Why people forget that most of population is not like us its not just Rs 100 your electricity is too expensive even for middle class. many peoples find it difficult to pay electric bills specially in summer.

People should voluntarily donate not by force.

& Why not end Govt. subsidies (Specially Metro) & use that money on dams.

It is $14 billion dollars since last couplecof years... Will likely cost more in fresh surveys and more by the time it completes

I think it may cost us $20 billion dollars+ eventually... You never know

Not just high construction cost it will also be more expensive to operate / maintain the Main Power Lines.

100 rupees is expensive? Everyone has mobile phone of 2000 rupees atleast and here you are saying 100 rupees per family is expensive than here we expect they will do donation for dam.if they can recharge their mlobile for 100 they can def afford 100 per bill.
