National Assembly Standing Committee on Water and Power on Thursday deferred "Indus River System Authority (IRSA) (Amendment) Bill, 2017" due to the absence of the mover. The committee which met under the chairmanship of Junaid Anwar Chaudhary decided to consider the Bill in its forth-coming meeting. The committee also discussed the issue of non-payment of salaries to the officers/officials of Vigilance Directorate of Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA).
