PDWP sanctioned the schemes during a special session, which was presided over by P&D Board Chairman Habib-ur-Rehman Gillani. Other concerned officials also attended the meeting.
Last week, PDWP approved several water schemes at a cost of PKR 8.19 billion. At least 662 dysfunctional rural water supply projects will be fixed. Under the project, clean drinking water will be provided to households.
