Mirani Dam ((ウルドゥー語:میرانی)) is a medium-size multi-purpose concrete-faced rock-filled dam located on the Dasht River south of the Central Makran Range in Kech District in Balochistan province of Pakistan. Its reservoir is fed by the Kech River and the Nihing River.〔 Mirani Dam was completed in July 2006 and it impounded the Dasht River in August 2006. On June 26–27, the backflow water from Mirani Dam resulted in a large-scale disaster affected several thousand households in the upstream areas of Nasirabad, Kallatuk, and Nodez〔()〕 While the dam is supposed to irrigate up to 33,200 acres of land according to official plans, only a fraction of this land is irrigated and developed.〔()〕 The local communities have been staging protests, hunger-strikes, and people's tribunal to demand compensation in lieu of damages from the government authorities.〔()〕 ==History and construction== The feasibility report of the Mirani dam project was first completed in 1956. The project then went in to the back screen due to the other major events of the time. 45 years passed like that and then in the wake of Gwadar Port development Mirani Dam was commissioned by Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) in 2001 to provide water for the Gawadar city.
