KHUZDAR: Balochistan Agriculture Minister Sardar Muhammad Aslam Bizenjo inaugurated on Wednesday the Harabav dam completed at the cost of Rs150 million in three years.

Speaking on the occasion, he said the adjoining areas would soon experience development. The government, he said, was determined to usher in progress and prosperity for the welfare of the masses.

It was soon after coming into power that the elected representatives began putting in efforts for the solution of people’s problems, the minister said. Besides solving the water supply problem, the dam would go a long way in putting an end to the issue of underground water deficiency, he said.

Another project of 11 dams, worth billions, would soon be approved by the federal government, Mr Bizenjo said.

Moreover, an under-construction hospital in Naal tehsil would likely be a boon for area’s people who travelled long distances to avail health facilities, he said, adding that the public representatives would continue their struggle to come up to the expectations of the people.
