ISLAMABAD:
The authorities have accomplished almost 67% of a detailed design study of Munda Dam as they hoped to accomplish this task by the end of the year and the overall design completion by April 30, 2016. After the completion of the detailed design study and preparation of PC-I and tender documents, the project will be ready for construction that will take seven years to complete. The information provided by Ministry of Water and Power here on Tuesday revealed that the project activities have been halted due to non-formal approval of PC-II of the Munda Dam Hydropower project. During 2014-15, Rs100 million, as foreign component (softloan) was allocated. The amount of Rs181.293 million as a first tranche has been received last year from the French Development Agency (AFD).
