Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday vowed to build the "biggest dam in Pakistan's history" after kicking off construction work at the Diamer-Bhasha Dam project, adding that the project will also benefit the people living in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).
The prime minister made the remarks while addressing a public gathering in Chilas.
Earlier, the PM had visited the site of the dam along with Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda, where they were briefed on the mega project.

Should we get nawaj back to stop the dam and build more metro?
original designer of the dam, General Butt, in 2004 to then Pakistan President stated, “I shudder at the thought of earthquake effects on Bhasha. Dam-burst would wipe out Tarbela and all barrages on Indus; which would take us back to the stone-age.”
Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government has signed a whopping 442 billion Pakistani Rupees (PKR) contract with a joint venture of a Chinese state-run firm and a commercial arm of Pakistan’s military for the construction of the Diamer-Bhasha dam.
Chinese state-run firm China Power holds 70% and the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), a commercial arm of the Armed Forces of Pakistan, 30% share in the consortium.
The contract signed on Wednesday covers construction of a diversion system, main dam, access bridge and the 21MW Tangir hydropower project
Muzammil Hussain, chairman of Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), said his organization will provide 30% of the investment and the government of Pakistan the rest. Hussain put the total cost of the project at 1.497 trillion rupees ($8.77 billion).
The figure is contentious, however, since Hussain previously estimated the cost at about $14 billion on various occasions.???????????????
Pakistan is certainly in a financial crunch and would be unable to self-finance the project. Only last week, the government diverted $6.23 million from a COVID-19 relief fund to pay interest on energy debts.
China will fund the project through loans to Pakistan, but how these will be repaid remains to be seen.
"There's no indication that Islamabad has thought through how it will cover these immense costs," "Or if it has thought things through, it hasn't released its plan to the public."
"Since [Islamabad] will have few other funder options, it won't have much leverage with China in terms of the structuring of a potential
cnc approved the dam project in 2010
In November 2017, Pakistan pulled the dam proposal out of CPEC because of Beijing's conditions, which included owning the project. Islamabad's earlier requests to other funding sources, including the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank in 2016, were turned down.

Did you ask this question when your favorite Nawaz+Zardari were drowning nation in debt on useless projects?China will fund the project through loans to Pakistan, but how these will be repaid remains to be seen.
Worst possible scenario is your favorite Nawaz+Zardari coming back to power.Much have changed since old studies, tech never stop advancing. I'm sure they will take care of worst possible scenario.
