The Baloch who was developed

By:Hashim bin Rashid

The failure of the Mirani Dam must be a watershed moment for planners

Hashim bin RashidSome 19 men from Turbat in Balochistan travelled over 2,000 kilometres to set up a hunger camp at the Charing Cross, just outside the Wapda House complex. Why did they come? Honestly, if it were not for the fact that this was a column written nine days into the hunger strike, I would have said: ‘Please ask them yourself’.

The matter appears rather simple: the Mirani Dam was inaugurated on the Dasht River by General Musharraf to much fanfare in 2007. Promises were made that it would irrigate over 33,200 acres of land and thus ‘develop the people of Balochistan’. While plans were being hatched between the servants of our ‘visionary’ state and the Saudi sheikhdom for leasing these ‘future’ irrigated fields, disaster struck. On June 26-27 the people suffered what they had predicted: the dam created a flood.

From Quetta to Turbat – Sajid Hussain

Makran coastal highway

I was all packed and ready when PIA suddenly decided to cancel its flight from Quetta to Turbat, which I was supposed to take to attend a family wedding the very next day. I panicked and called my uncle in Turbat to inform him that I couldn’t make it. But he was persistent and insisted that I had to come. So I decided to take a bus for Turbat the same evening.

As the bus left the station, I realised that I was wearing black clothes and that my surname was Hussain – enough reason to get killed on my journey to simply see two cousins tie the knot. Details of massacres of bus passengers who had taken similar bus journeys were quite vivid in my mind.
