Shadi Kaur Dam


Shadi Kaur Dam was a dam located on the Shadi Kaur river about north of Pasni in Balochistan province of Pakistan. The dam was long. It was constructed in 2003 at a cost of 45 million Pakistani Rupees to provide irrigation for nearby farms.
On February 10, 2005, the dam burst due to heavy flooding caused by heavy rainfall, resulting in the deaths of about 70 villagers due to drowning and dragging their bodies into the Arabian Sea. Emergency search and rescue operations by the Pakistani military saved the lives of approximately 1,200 people.
