The Mangla Dam is the twelfth largest dam in the world. It was constructed in 1967 across the Jhelum River, inundating many villages. Some of the over 110,000 displaced people settled in Dina and other neighbouring towns/villages. Some of those affected by the dam were given work permits for United Kingdom by the Government of Pakistan. Others were less fortunate and experienced hardship and misery. Living conditions for the poor and disadvantaged have not improved. The needs of the community for local access, high quality care at reasonable costs have not been addressed.
