Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif is scheduled to visit Taunsa Barrage today to inaugurate the rehabilitated sections of the Kachhi Canal, which were significantly damaged by the 2022 floods. The canal is vital for irrigating vast areas of Balochistan by drawing water from the Indus River.
The rehabilitation project is designed to restore and enhance the canal’s capacity to provide essential irrigation to the region, which has faced difficulties due to flooding and climate-related challenges. Prime Minister Sharif’s visit underscores the government’s commitment to improving water infrastructure and supporting agriculture in flood-affected areas.
