Meanwhile, WAPDA’s entire fleet of vehicles at Tarbela, including the shift buses, would be at a grinding halt due to the non-availability of diesel.
According to the employees, all of the buses would be parked in the transport pool, which would not only disrupt workers’ shift duties but also the shifts for the colleges and schools.
According to sources, Tarbela WAPDA is not receiving funds from the Accounts Office on time due to the non-availability of diesel. The Dam administration sources said that the matter would be resolved soon.
In contrast to Tarbela Dam, the collection of arrears from other WAPDA project offices is underway.
