Water supply projects for Rawalpindi, Islamabad postponed






Four projects to supply water to the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad have been postponed due to the shortage of funds, reports a news source.
According to details, these projects include three proposed dams and a water channel directing water supply from Neelum (Jhelum) to Islamabad via Murree. Reportedly, development work on all of these projects cannot be initiated in the fiscal year 2017-18. The deferred projects were to fulfil the water requirements of the twin cities for the next 100 years.
The estimated construction cost of these projects has increased many folds due to constant delays, and the chances of initiating development work on them in the next two years also looks bleak, the report further reads.

And what makes me believe that? WAPDA issued a demand notice to the society’s management for the supply of electricity, and the management has settled its accounts with the authority. According to a source, electricity wires have bee
