Congratulation to all for progress and development , Is it true
Water the only thing left untouched, good jobs, all the power that will be generated will it benefit the whole area. What will happen to the whole are what will be left.
The whole of Hunza is just a valley, Starting form Sosth to the last of Danyour(Gilgit) non of the villages are bigger the few kilometer, rest is all rock and Rock.
While we are having to facilitate the rest of our beloved home land by
(1)Road of friendship between China and Pakistan (30 to 40 feet) width
(2)Railway line project (20 to 30 feet) width
(3)Gas or crude oil pipe- line Project (20 to 30 feet) width
(4) National Parke restrictions (60 percent of the whole area)
(5) China trade and its complications (futuristic results )
(6) The power project on the river banks
Well in the end let just imagine the valley with all these development and project. Rivers with power project stations, with all electric pools, and lines to star the sceneries of nature. With mountains and green land drilled and shattered for railways tracks, and road. Giving way for noise, air, water population. Making our world modern and high tech.
But will we be able to handle it all, has anyone ever thought of all the consequences. We at the moment have place to be able to live but will their be space left to call it HOME.
I will talk about the environmental effect, effect on glaciers, water, heat global worming.
Think!!!!!!!!!!!
