The national English press has revealed that World Bank is disinclined to fund Bhasha dam for the next 10 years but is interested for Pakistan to go far Dasu dam which is a run of the river project for power generation but no storage of water. WAPDA has righty shown preference for both water storage and hydel power dams as a priority.
This brings forth the urgency of going for Kalabagh dam for which there is no objection of WB for funding being located in a non-disputed area. If the Bhasha dam is in doldrums as at present, the govt must attempt to line up funds for Kalabagh dam.
