Tarbela Dam is one
of the world’s largest earth and rock filled Dam and the second largest dam in
the world by structural volume built on the Indus River (the Indus known as the
“Abbasin” or the father of rivers) in Pakistan. The dam was completed in 1976
at a cost of Rs.18.5 billion. Over 15,000 Pakistani and 800 foreign workers and
engineers worked during its construction. It is the biggest hydel power station
in Pakistan having a capacity of generating 3,478 MW of electricity. The dam
was designed to store water from the Indus River for irrigation, flood control,
and the generation of hydroelectric power.

KARACHI: There’s
nothing like some fried, carb-heavy snacks and the soothing trickle of a
fountain to calm down the enraged. And as the newly refurbished MPAs
cafeteria in the Sindh Assembly reopened on Thursday, those who had looked
miffed put their anger behind them and oohed and aahed at the new space.

in popular culture
Although truck art became a regular feature on catwalks ever since designer
Maheen Khan began propagating it as a design element with her brand Gulabo, the
recent proliferation of truck art products can be attributed to the Haider
Ali,an artist who has been travelling abroad and delivering lectures at foreign
universities to promote this niche art.
