ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan has appealed overseas pakistanis specially to contribute for construction of dams in Pakistan.

PM Khan said Pakistan has only 30 days water storage capacity which is alarming whereas India has 190 days capacity. We have to build this dam by ourselves, nobody will give us loans for it and we know we can do it.
