LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar Saturday said that only Kalabagh Dam guarantees the survival and security of Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The chief justice said so while addressing a ceremony in Lahore, organised by a welfare organisation that provides interest-free loans to poor and needy people.<\/p>\n

He said that there was going to be an immense shortage of water in the days to come, adding that if a consensus was reached by the nation then Kalabagh Dam would also be constructed.<\/p>\n

“The construction of dams is the only solution to the water crisis,” Justice Nisar said.<\/p>\n

“I came to know of a water crisis in Quetta. The issue can take such a serious turn that the people may have to migrate.”<\/p>\n

He said that they had not stopped pursuing the matter of Kalabagh Dam’s construction.<\/p>\n

Anyone attempting to halt construction of dams will be tried under Article 6: CJP<\/p>\n

“If the nation agreed then we will also make Kalabagh Dam after the construction of Diamer-Bhasha and Mohmand dams,” the chief justice said.<\/p>\n

“Only Kalabagh Dam guarantees survival and security of Pakistan.”<\/p>\n

He noted that the transgender community donated Rs100,000 for dam fund. “I announce Rs100,000 for [those] transgender people.<\/p>\n

“You all are protectors, you have to stand guard so that the dam projects could be completed,” Justice Nisar said.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Justice Nisar warned that any person who attempts to hinder the construction of dams will be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

He said so while hearing heard a suo moto case of mineral water companies using underground water for selling it in bottles at the Supreme Court\u2019s Lahore Registry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater is more expensive than gold now and we will not allow its theft,\u201d the chief justice said. \u201cLet me tell you one thing, I have no other purpose than to serve the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI have started studying Article 6 of the Constitution and anyone who attempts to block the construction of dams will be tried under it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar Saturday said that only Kalabagh Dam guarantees the survival and…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[89,65,72,90],"class_list":{"0":"post-9","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pk","8":"tag-dams","9":"tag-pakistan","10":"tag-supreme-court","11":"tag-water","12":"cs-entry","13":"cs-video-wrap"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2653,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions\/2653"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chiefjusticeblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
