There is no gainsaying the fact that we urgently need more electricity as well as water for our daily needs and any delay in getting them is going to be suicidal for us. The concern being shown by the CJP in the matter needs to be appreciated.

If the government which comes into power after the 25 th July elections failed to give its priority attention to the matter it is going to face soon a grave law and order problem. Make no mistake about it.
Many people have been suggesting Bhasha Dam as an alternative to Kalabagh dam but some experts say that had Bhasha been feasible, work on it would been started long ago.

POSTSCRIPT . Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Portugal and Spain, to mention a few, were hot favourites either to win the World football tournament held in Russia or be number second or third but none of them could reach even the quarter final stage.

Italy was also conspicuous by its absence from this world tournament . Let us hope it qualifies for the next world football tournament as it had been world champion for a couple of times in the past.
