A STILL from the production.
KARACHI: In the recently launched docudrama Paani Kay Pankh, produced by Tooba Jamil Baig, written by novelist and screenwriter Umera Ahmed, and filmed by ad film-maker Farooq Mannan, a young boy makes a paper ship and sails it in a river in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The boy’s grandfather, bathing in the same water miles away, waits for him to come home. The land, the narration explains, and we see, is either lush with life or rocky and arid; either way, there’s a lot of potential. The entire landscape of this part of KP and Pakistan itself will change once Mohmand dam, which has been in hiatus for years, becomes a reality, we’re told time and again.
PM Holds Previous Govts Responsible for Capacity Payments Worth Trillions
The government would have to pay Rs. 1.5 trillion as capacity payment charges to the power producers by 2023.
Prime Minister Imran Khan said this while speaking at the launching ceremony of the documentary-drama “Paani Kay Pankh,” once again holding the previous governments responsible.
He said that the current government has to pay such a high amount due to the power generation contracts signed with the power producers by the previous governments.
He said whether the country uses electricity or not, the country is bound to make payment against capacity payment charges.
