Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Irrigation Minister Aqibullah Khan has assured that ongoing development projects will be completed on a priority basis, following the directives of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
Speaking to the media during his visit to Jaroba Dam in Nowshera, the minister highlighted the irrigation department’s swift progress, noting that eight dams have been completed in a short time. He stated that the Jaroba Dam will bring 930 acres of barren land under cultivation.
According to a statement issued on Monday, Aqibullah Khan said that construction is currently underway on 36 small dams across the province. The Jaroba Dam, he added, will supply 4.65 cusecs of water for irrigation, supported by a 6.1-kilometer-long canal built to serve nearby villages.
The minister emphasized that the construction of these dams will not only address water scarcity but also generate employment opportunities, contributing to the strengthening of the provincial economy.
