LAKKI MARWAT: The government has been asked to start construction of Kurram Tangi dam to help overcome power crisis.
Former MNA Humayun Saifullah, in a statement, said that the project was essential for the development of southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Saifullah said that the residents of Lakki Marwat and other southern districts had been facing problems in the irrigation and water and power sectors. He said that the construction of dam would usher a new era of development in the region.
