This is not the first time that we, the Taunsa Barrage victims, are observing peaceful hunger strike in front of the World Bank Office. The first such hunger strike was held in February 2007. At that time, our main demand was the establishment of an independent investigation commission on the World Bank financed Taunsa Barrage Emergency Rehabilitation and Modernization Project (TBERM). The project loan was approved on an emergency basis, the justification that catastrophic barrage failure could occur in the near future. Today we are again holding a hunger strike to inform the Bank that the rehabilitation and remodelling works financed under its project failed to avert the risk of barrage failure.
