Now that Kalabagh dam is being put on the back burner, it is important to remind the people that there is no other dam which can substitute for it. It is only through the left bank canal at KBD that north Punjab can get any water from any dam on the Indus. What will be the future of agriculture in Pakistan if the biggest tract of cropland in the country is deprived of the water from any dam on the Indus, the only river on which dams can be built? North Punjab cannot survive just on Mangla dam. Punjab is the bread basket of the country and depriving Punjab of water will hurt the whole country. The Indian Punjab although much smaller than our Punjab is supplying food grain to the whole of India, because it is getting ample water and almost free electricity. This is only the first of the many arguments which shows that no other dam can be a substitute for Kalabagh dam.
