Mohmand Dam inauguration announced: PM, CJP and COAS to collectively break ground of mega project

PESHAWAR -

Mohmand Dam inauguration has been announced and PM Imran Khan will perform the ground breaking ceremony of the mega project.

All preparations have been finalised for the ground breaking ceremony of Mohmand Dam in the first week of January by the PM Imran Khan.

PM Imran will be accompanied by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar and Chief of Army Staff Genral Qamar Javed Bajwa at the ground-breaking ceremony of the dam.

Tribal district administration Mohmand are busy in giving final touches to the grand event for the mega project.

District administration officials were holding meetings with elders of Burhan Khel, Uthman Khel and Essa Khel tribesmen to finalise the documents about land acquisition.

Unlike other part of the country, there is no state land in tribal areas, neither are individuals authorised to deal with matters of land. Land belongs to tribes. Each tribe has its demarcated area and there is no land revenue department record for individual land holdings.

The government will have to deal with whole tribes instead of individuals as it does in settled districts in acquiring land. However, these tribal areas have been merged with K-P and all law have been extended to erstwhile Fata after 25th Constitutional Amendment.
