She said that the CDWP (Central Development Working Party) allotted Rs2 billion to the ECNEC (Executive Committee of the National Economic Council) in this regard and after all due process in the most transparent manner and budgetary allocation, the work was started as per PML-N tenure working.

“Thank you Imran Khan sahib for briefing the nation on Nawaz Sharif’s initiated Mohmand Dam project. It would have been nice if Imran Khan would have updated the nation on the 350 dams he promised the country,” she maintained.

“How many more people will be robbed in the name of Peshawar Labourers Housing Society, through which Imran Khan gave massive favour to mafias and cartels…mafia is polluting with its corruption, the transparency of the projects started by Nawaz Sharif government,” she claimed.
