Swat: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Minister for Local Government Faisal Amin Khan on Monday (October 3) announced the release of payments for land acquisition for the ‘Greater Gravity Water Supply’ scheme in Mingora, Swat, news sources reported.
He stated that the government will compensate the landowners whose land is acquired for the project through the KP City Improvement Project. The local government will manage the compensation, and the project will begin next year. He stated that the government has already completed the project design developed by international firms to deliver potable water to Mingora, Swat, and other areas for the next 25 years. He added that the project is critical for the community since it would assure a continuous supply of water to inhabitants amid the extreme shortage.
It is worth noting that KP has entered into an agreement with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide financing for the development of KP cities. ADB will offer USD 1 billion in long-term loan agreements for city infrastructure improvement and water supply projects across the province.
