KARACHI: Looks like our prime minister and chief justice have made it their sole purpose to build dams in Pakistan. This has come in the wake of several warnings of rapid depletion of Pakistan’s water resources. In a televised address, the premier warned countrymen about the rapid depletion of Pakistan’s water resources and speculated that the country may face drought-like conditions by 2025 if immediate steps were not taken.

Now all this is serious stuff. But the fun came about when unverified Twitter accounts claiming to be those of celebrities and famous international personalities began tweeting about how much they’re going to donate to this dam fund. And then there was no stopping. Here’s a roundup of some hilarious tweets to help us cope:

1. People are coming up with things other than money they can donate to the dam fund

2. Attributing donations is also becoming a trend now

3. Obviously there were memes about overseas Pakistanis

4. And the fake tweets

5. And tweets about the culprit, perhaps
