During a hearing last week, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar had observed that water resources were crucial for survival and directed the authorities to take immediate and effective measures to build the two dams. Furthermore, the apex court had appealed to the general public, including Pakistanis residing abroad, to donate for the cause.
