Pakistan is currently facing the brunt of floods. This has made his financial condition worse. But pauper Pakistan is wasting crores of rupees in ads. This has been disclosed in the report of the Pakistan Parliamentary Affairs Committee. According to the report, Pakistan sought 319 million (40 million) help for the construction of the dam (Diam-Bhasha Dam) but it spent about 503 crores ($ 63 million) in the advertisement itself.
This dam was proposed in 1980 and in 2006 the project was flagged off by the government of President Pervez Musharraf. But the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank had refused to finance the dam due to the disputed site being in Kashmir. After this, after becoming the Chief Justice of Nisar in July 2018, he decided to build the dam with the help of public funds.
Pauper Pakistan spent 503 crores on advertisement only
But the dam is not yet completed. At the same time, more money has been spent in its advertisement, but the dam is not even fully ready yet. Let us tell you that about 9 billion rupees were deposited from the public to build the dam. This is the reason why the Diem-Bhasha Dam built on the Indus River in Pakistan is in the news due to controversies.
Flood wreaks havoc in Pakistan
Significantly, there was an outcry due to the floods in Pakistan. Cash-strapped Pakistan is facing its worst floods in 30 years, killing more than 1,400 civilians and affecting 33 million people since early June. Millions of homes were destroyed due to floods and landslides. Many people had to leave the city. The Shahbaz government of Pakistan appealed for help from many other countries.
As humanity, many countries provided him help. Let us tell you that the reason for the severe floods in Pakistan is being told due to climate change. But it is being said that climate change is not the only reason for the devastating floods in the country last month, but the human intervention that has increased over the years has also contributed to this devastation.
