THE CONSTRUCTION OF DIAMER BHASHA AND MOHMAND


The two Dams which are extremely important for the future of Pakistan will be costing around 17.6 Billion$(2138.4 billion). Since when the people started to outrage on social media regarding the Dams, the Chief Justice of Pakistan announced to construct two Dams (Diamer Bhasha and Mohmand Dam). He personally donated 1 million in the account created by Supreme Court of Pakistan after the announcement. People are actively contributing in it so that the water level which has touched dead level and due to which many issues are  raised that if this situation continues people will face extreme shortage for water and life will be in trouble.

People are asked to Donate 10 rs by simply sending an empty sms to the SC account for the Dams. But the total population is around 22 cores and if let suppose all the people send a sms the total sum will be around 220 cores. Still 1918 cores will be lacking so the issue is that is it fair to take the money from the general public. The government which is taking several types of taxes and the multinational companies and the banks all should contribute equally as this is something which needs immediate action.

Moreover, according to world organizations, Pakistan would hit a major water crisis by 2025.
An SBP official added: “Organizations and individuals may deposit donations through 16,000 bank branches and ATMs.” He announced SBP employees will donate two days salary into the fund, while employees at SBP subsidiaries will donate a day’s salary to directly participate in the dams’ building. Similarly, high officials of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), Habib Bank Limited (HBL), MCB Bank, United Bank Limited (UBL) and Allied Bank Limited (ABL) announced that their employees will also donate one day salary into the fund. Besides, management of each of the banks (except for HBL) would donate funds equivalent to what their employee’s deposit.
“We would contribute Rs100 million to the noble cause on behalf of (HBL) management,” HBL President & CEO Muhammad Aurangzeb said at the conference.
NBP President & CEO Saeed Ahmad said “all the donations would be transferred to SBP’s designated account within half-an-hour from the time any person or organization deposits donations at our branches.” “If the provided circumstances do not support NBP employees to donate, they can walk out,” he said.
