ISLAMABAD, Oct 10 (APP):The Senate Standing Committee on Water Resources on Thursday expressed dismay over absence of Secretary Planning Commission in the meeting and decided to issue show cause to him.
The committee which met with Shammim Afridi in the chair discussed progress report on compensation to the affected people of Mirani Dam, construction of Sindh Barrage, land lost due to sea intrusion in coastal areas, Yatabad Spate Irrigation Scheme of Dukki district and feasibility of irrigation of Zhob division through Indus River etc.
Senator Mir Kabeer said that Balochistan government had released a sum of Rs 1 billion for disbursing among the Mirani Dam affected people, but not a single penny was given to them. “Why the compensation amount is not yet paid,” he questioned.
