A miscellaneous petition has been filed in the Supreme Court Lahore Registry praying the court to order for the immediate construction of Kalabagh Dam.
The petitioner Barrister Zafrullah made a plea, if the Kalabagh Dam not constructed, then Pakistan would be deprived of water and electricity. All those opposing the construction of KBD should be tried for treason, a direction should be issued to the government to make new Indus Water Treaty (IWT), as existing IWT was not in the interest of Pakistan, the petitioner prayed.
