Jhagra gandu from PTI is behind this troll account. Bhasha dam is like decade away and by then all of current IPP's imported coal/lng power plants will be passed out.

On top of that govt have permanently ended imported fuel IPP's forever. There are no more IPP's coming up. So this was fake news

Like the Neelam project is closed since 2024, another waste of money on infrastructure. Elites like infrastructure projects to siphon the money, and now they don't want to produce electricity to hurt their own IPPs.

if dam is built now without the power plants, it will be nearly impossible to build it later (emptying, de-silting, etc)

Must be fake news. One cannot be so insanely stupid.
