According to Daily Dawn report, the Zulfikarabad mega city project, approved in haste and without the mandatory environment impact assessment, would prove to be another ‘permanent disaster’ like the Left Bank Outfall Drain, warned speakers at the launch of a position paper on Thursday. The government, they said, must re-examine the project as there were serious concerns over the project’s proposed site and its impact on existing human settlements as well as the region’s ecology. The absence of a land resettlement policy would make matters worse, they added. The event was organised by Friends of Indus Forum in collaboration with World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan to launch the position paper titled Ecological and Social Impacts of Zulfikarabad — A Megacity Project.
