Problem overview: Meeting information requirements: This example shows the adverse impacts of a major motorway project on the socio-economic conditions of the people because an impact assessment had not been carried out prior to the construction of the highways. Background in summary: The Pakistan Motorway Project: Recognizing the need for high quality road net work in the country, the Prime Minister of Pakistan inaugurated Pakistan Motorway Project covering the whole of country: from Peshawar to Karachi and Karachi to Gawadar and Karachi to Quetta and Quetta to Iran. Magnitude of the project: It was a massive project involving 3 major river bridges, 8 interchanges, 27 flyovers, 17 bridges on canal, 39 bridges on drains and 4 overhead railway crossing, 183 subways and cattle creeps, 22 culverts on canals and 73 culverts on drains. Funding for the project: The project was approved by the National Highway Council headed by the Prime minister of Pakistan in 1992 with 60 percent financing by the Government of Pakistan and 40 percent financing through foreign loans. The project was completed in December 1997 at an estimated cost of Rs. 30.5 billion. Neglecting to do the EIA: Environmental Impact Assessment report of the project required under section 8 of the then in vogue Pakistan Environmental Protection Ordinance, 1983 was neither prepared nor subjected to any review/approval process at the time of initiation, construction or even at completion stage of the project. Consequences are adverse irreversible impact: This motorway passes through the agricultural belt of the province of Punjab and is associated with several positive and negative impacts on the life of the people living in the urban and rural areas along the motorway. Apart from this, the project of this magnitude diverts massive amount of financial resources needed for other priority projects in other regions of the country, with consequent socio-economic and environmental implications.

An economist at a local TV revealed that Zardari/Ruling Class of Pakistanis has above $150 billion abroad of which if they bring back only 25% economic instability can end & Pakistan can develop at a faster pace. He totally forgot that this money is thrown out of Pakistans National Economy. West loans it back on heavy terms to create financial instability in Pakistan & not to stabilize it. West claims to have invested this fund here but a poor Pakistani doesnt even get a single penny out of it

Loans are granted to Pakistan but are not monitored/audited to see the completion of the project they are sanctioned for. Pakistani ruling class & govt departments gradually eat up the entire loan. Are these loans granted to promote hypocrisy, gradually leading to fake inflation, injustice & poverty? The end result nowadays is reaction in the form of suicide bombing & destruction due to the problems mentioned. Kalabagh Dam & many projects are just a dream due to this attitude of IMF & World Bank
