The discharge capacity of Sukkur and Guddu barrages needs to be increased. This will be no small task and will cost billions of rupees. Does it make sense to undertake this gigantic task and not try and stop the flood waters at source? The flood waters of Kabul, Chitral, Haro and Soan rivers cannot be stopped by Tarbela, Bhasha or any other dam on the Indus expect by Kalabagh dam. How long are we going to go on increasing barrage capacities but not build the one dam that can take care of the problem?
