PAF AIR WAR college delegation briefed about water, hydropower sectors Mon 15th February 2021 | 05:30 PM
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Feb, 2021 ) :A delegation of the PAF Air War College, Karachi on Monday was apprised that per capita water availability in Pakistan had come down from 5650 cubic meter in 1951 to an alarming level of 908 cubic meter per annum, pushing us to the stage of water-scarce country.
Briefing the visiting delegation at WAPDA House, General Manager (Hydrology and Water Management) Shahid Hameed said that Pakistan can store only 10 percent of its annual river flows against the world average of 40 percent.
Ironically, instead of increasing water storage capacity, Pakistan has lost about one-fourth storage of the dams, said a press release.
A special anti-terrorism court (ATC) has rejected the bail plea of MPA Faisal Zaman, the prime suspect in the murder case of PTI leader Malik Tahir Iqbal and his friend ex-councillor Gul Nawaz.

“We’re not doing enough for our next generation,” Shaikh Amjad Rasheed tells me as our tea arrives. “We have a rich history of films and filmmakers, who unfortunately very few know about and even fewer appreciate today.”
Rasheed is the Chairman of the IMGC Group of companies (producers of edible oil brands, textile manufacturing mills, soaps, detergents, etc) whose media label, Distribution Club (DC), produces and distributes a lot of Pakistani motion pictures.
In fact, DC doesn’t say no to movies at all. Good, bad, ugly, atrocious, they all eventually find a distribution partner with DC, because Rasheed can’t say no to filmmakers. He once told me that if he doesn’t support Pakistani movies, who will? The least he can do is get them to the screens. Whether they work or not, that’s their own kismet, he says.
