“We are facing a huge issue of water scarcity,” Shehbaz stressed.

The PML-N president highlighted the need to build dams to tackle the water crisis.“The next government’s top priority will be to build Bhasha Dam,” he said.

Regarding Kalabagh Dam, Shehbaz said, “Debate on Kalabagh Dam is pointless as till all parties do not agree it cannot be constructed.”
