Land acquisition for Mohmand dam set to begin
LAHORE: The Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) has decided to immediately start land acquisition for the multi-purpose Mohm*and Dam Hydropower Project.
The political agent of the Federally-Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) has also been instructed by the authority to establish a project management unit that would exclusively work on land acquisition in Mohmand Agency and adjoining areas, it is learnt.
The concrete-faced rock-fill type dam project with storage capacity of 1.293 million acres feet (MAF) is planned to be constructed on River Awat situated nearly five-km upstream of Munda Head Works in Mohmand Agency.
It has a height of 700 feet. Once completed, the project will help control floods in Charsadda, Nowshera and Peshawar and irrigate about 17,000 acres of agricultural land. It will have power generation capacity of 800MW, according to Wapda. It’s original PC1 cost is Rs938m.
“We need as many as 1,000 acres (8,000 kanals) for the project. Of total 1,000 acres, we immediately require 260 acres for setting up the camp offices by the contractors, construction of two periphery roads and some other administrative, functional and logistic arrangements ahead of initiating the civil work on the project.
Therefore, we have decided to first acquire this piece of land by end of August this year,” a senior Wapda official explained while talking to Dawn on Tuesday.
“We have also asked the political agent concerned to immediately start work on establishing a project management unit (PMU) by hiring the relevant staff having expertise on land acquisition, revenue related matters. Hopefully they (the Fata Admin) would send us a brief on this proposed structure/unit by next week,” he added.
Wapda considers Mohmand Dam a most important project that will contribute more than three billion units of electricity to the national grid every year.
Under the plan, the work on the project was to be commenced and completed in June 2012 and September 2016 respectively. However, due to various issues including non-availability of funds, the project’s execution faced a massive delay of six years. However, last month the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) approved Rs309.50 billion for this project.

Govt approves five-year tax break for tribal areas
ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Thursday approved a five-year tax holiday for now defunct federal and provincial tribal areas that had been merged with Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, addressing the only major concern of people of these areas.
Headed by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the cabinet approved the tax exemptions hours before the end of his government’s term.
The ECC also approved the end of 15-paisa-per-unit Neelum-Jhelum surcharge with effect from commissioning date of the project.
It approved comprehensive tax exemptions and other incentives for the next five years for the people of erstwhile federal and provincial tribal areas after the landmark 31st Constitutional Amendment, according to an announcement by the PM Office.
President Mamnoon Hussain on Thursday also signed the 25th Constitutional Amendment, giving effect to the merger of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (Pata) with Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser had written a letter to National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, informing him about the objections raised by lawmakers belonging to Pata over the omission of tax exemptions enjoyed by the people of Pata before the Constitutional Amendment Act 2018.
He said the bill would roll back the tax break previously granted to the people of Malakand Division.
