US EditionKalabagh Dam Vital for State: Gandapur
Ali Amin Gandapur urged national consensus to overcome provincialism for projects like Kalabagh Dam and pledged support for over 800 Afghan earthquake victims alongside flood relief efforts.
- On September 1, 2025, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur urged national consensus for projects like the Kalabagh Dam, warning Pakistan must not be weakened by provincialism and emphasizing dialogue to resolve concerns.
- The Kalabagh Dam, first proposed in the 1950s, faces ethnic and regional objections, but if built at Kalabagh in Mianwali, it would generate 3,600 megawatts and benefit Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
- The CM said KP completed six dams last year and benefited from the Gomal Zam Dam, while Jabba Dam and the Budhni protective wall are under construction to reduce flood damage.
- The KP government said it would mobilize rescue teams, medical services and relief supplies, offering aid to Afghan authorities after Monday's 6-magnitude earthquake killed more than 800 people.
- Turning to politics, Gandapur outlined two paths for PTI founder Imran Khan’s release: enforcing the constitution or an unlikely compromise with the establishment; he opposed forced repatriation of Afghan refugees, urging six months for dignified returns.
