💧 Who really owns the water of Galiyat?
For nearly a century, water from the Donga Gali gravity springs has been diverted downhill to Murree — first by the British, now by the Punjab administration. Meanwhile, the people of Galiyat, on whose land these springs exist, watch their children fetch empty buckets. What was once colonial engineering has become a symbol of modern-day exploitation.
In this video, we expose:
⚡ How the British Raj engineered the Donga Gali tanks in the 1930s
⚡ Why Murree thrives while Galiyat thirsts
⚡ How the 10% quota meant for locals is allegedly consumed by elites
⚡ The looming crisis if Galiyat cuts Murree’s water supply
⚡ What history, politics, and human rights tell us about water justice
This is more than a pipeline — it’s a provincial fault line. If nothing changes, we could see an unprecedented showdown over something as basic, and as vital, as water.
