According to media news The High Court in Pakistan ordered the federal government to implement decisions of the Council of Common Interests and build the Kalabagh Dam as soon as possible to meet current power crises in country. True reality is that due to worse energy crises constructions of new dams have become crying need of the day in Pakistan. Despite worse energy crises last several years government is not able to construct any new dam in country to reduce worse power shorting in country. Unfortunately Kalabadh Dam issue is highly politicized in Pakistan and different political parties are using Kala Bagh Dam issue only for political purpose.
Now power crisis in the country has reached a critical stage while in peak summer shortfall has reached 7500 Mega Watts now in peak summer country need 17000 mega watts but generation is only 9000 megawatts. In peak summer 18 to 20 hours load shedding is making things bad to worse for normal people. Unfortunately government appointed minister water and power don't have ability to prepare any positive strategy. Despite four years of rule present government don't have long term plans to cope worse energy crises in country.
Due to continues power shortage small business and traders also facing worse crises and due to worse power failure several factories have shut their doors for workers and graph of unemployment is raising in country. Country exports and Textile sector is worse affected and businessmen are transferring their capital to other countries like Bangladesh. True reality is that an early construction of the dam is necessary for survival of Pakistan but due to political uncertainty, lack of government interest last forty years no new dam is constructed in country. Government is doing only cosmetics steps to calm down situation. Government rental power projects has failed to provide any desire result and highly criticized by supreme court of Pakistan government two days holidays plan also could not bring any change in power crises and government is still not able to find other means of energy like coal, natural Gas, solar energy and nuclear energy. Government has also failed to stop electricity theft even in big cities like Karachi, Lahore and Faisalabad. Despite worse energy crises and long hours of load shedding government is increasing electricity tariffs every month which further fueled people anger and due to energy crises present government is losing its popularity and credibility very rapidly.
