In brief:
During the construction of Tarbela Fifth Extension (Tarbela 5), the cofferdam was damaged, which caused delays and increased costs. An official investigation was also conducted in this regard.
A cofferdam is actually a temporary safety dam that is built to hold back water during construction.
Information regarding the cost increase and the responsibility of various institutions has been discussed in various official documents and reports, but each number and each claim must be verified separately from the official report.
The last part of the post, which states that “construction of large dams should be abandoned and only wind and solar energy should be adopted”, is a political and policy opinion, not a proven fact. Energy experts generally consider a balanced combination of hydro, solar, wind, nuclear and other sources to be the best strategy for Pakistan.
