Reinforcement: Flood wall built in FR Lakki Marwat

PESHAWAR: The political administration of FR Lakki Marwat has constructed a flood protection wall for Oshanni Kareem Khel. According to a notification issued by the Fata Secretariat on Thursday, the 366-metre wall will benefit approximately 2,300 individuals. It will not only protect fertile agricultural land, but also shield houses from seasonal floods. To create a sense of ownership in the community, local skilled and unskilled labourers were hired, who worked closely with the political administration to ensure timely completion of the project. The local community elders have thanked the political administration for responding to their basic needs.
