KARACHI: Federal Minister for Water Resources, Faisal Vawda, on Tuesday said Prime Minister Imran Khan would inaugurate construction of Mohmand Dam on May 2, ARY News reported.

“I congratulate the nation on initiation of construction of Mohmand Dam. It was a project planned before my birth. The incumbent government will complete the Mohmand Dam project,” Faisal Vawda said while talking to media.

He said some external and internal powers tried to make Mohmand Dam as controversial as Kala Bagh Dam.

The federal minister said Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa and former chief justice of Pakistan Justice (retd) Saqib Nisar were invited for the inauguration ceremony of the dam.

He said the Mohmand Dam project had been stuck for 54 years.

“The federal cabinet meeting has now given approval for construction of Mohmand Dam,” he said.

On March 26, the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) had awarded long delayed contract for civil and electro-mechanical works of Mohmand Dam Project to a joint venture comprising the China Gezhouba Group of Companies (CGGC) of China as the lead firm and Descon engineering company of Pakistan as its partner.

The final contract was worth Rs183.523 billion, saving Rs18 billion from the approved PC-I.

Mohmand Dam hydropower project was being constructed on River Swat in tribal district Mohmand of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
