Malik Amin Aslam, speaking at the occasion explained the significance of Kalabagh dam and stated that building Kalabagh dam had become an urgent, unavoidable necessity as our country faced severe scarcity of water resources.
He added that in future, Pakistan's agriculture and economy would be largely dependent on availability of water resources and unless new dams were built water could not be stored, therefore all of us should rise above our political interests for successful completion of this project.
A resolution in favour of Kalabagh dam was also passed on the occasion and the government was urged to immediately initiate the implementation of the project. A large number of people from all sections of society, including farmers, teachers, scholars, journalists and common citizens participated in the rally, which began from "Mandir Haj Dadu Hazru" and ended at Government High School for Boys.
