It appears that Aftab Sherpao is not the only one who does not know that the Indus River is flowing at least 100 feet below his feet and he will never get any water from any dam on the Indus, except a bare minimum from Tarbela dam through the narrow Pehur canal.
Now Asfandyar Wali Khan has also said that he is dead against Kalabagh dam. I wonder how he proposes to raise the level of the Indus without building Kalabagh dam. Water from the dam by gravity will cost the farmer Rs400 per acre per annum for the 8 lakh acres in D I Khan and Bannu districts. Pumping the same water from Chashma reservoir will cost Rs5,000 per acre per annum. Think before you talk, I would say.
