In February, the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) Chairman Lt-Gen (retd) Muzammil Hussain informed the Senate Standing Committee on Water Resources that the Mohmand Dam would be completed in five years and eight months.
'Mohmand dam to be completed in 6 years'
The Wapda chief had said the proposed time could be reduced with the use of modern technology. “Unfortunately, the project has been halted for past 50 years and nine cases were registered against the government of Pakistan for constructing the dam,” he said, adding all of these cases have finally been decided with verdicts in favour of the government.
