Prime Minister Imran Khan posted a video, which showed the under-construction site of Mohmand Dam with work in progress on diversion tunnels, outlet portals, access tunnel, and re-regulation pond. “The construction of Mohmand Dam, located on Swat River, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is well under way. Once completed, the dam will generate 800MW of hydroelectricity, irrigate over 16,000 acres of land and contribute heavily to the socioeconomic uplift of the region.” said a tweet from the official account of PM office.
Mohmand Dam will generate 800 megawatts of hydroelectricity while Diamer-Bhasha dam will produce 4,500 inexpensive and green hydel power. The two new dams which are due to be completed in a few years will increase water storage in the country by a substantial margin and will also work to mitigate floods in the region.
