PESHAWAR, Jan 1: There is a consensus over the construction of major water reservoirs and any decision in this regard will be in the larger national interest, says Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Anisa Zeb Tahirkheli. She was talking to reporters at a book-launching ceremony at the Khana-e-Farhang on Sunday.
The state minister said the government was making efforts for taking provinces into confidence over the construction of Kalabagh dam and President Gen Pervez Musharraf would soon visit the NWFP as part of this campaign.
She said parliament and provincial assemblies would also discuss the issue, adding provincial governments’ reservations would also be removed.
She said ministers belonging to NWFP have presented people’s concern about Kalabagh dam in the meeting of federal cabinet.—APP
