He was accompanied by the General Manager (Projects) South and other WAPDA officers. Speaking on the occasion, the Chairman said that WAPDA is also providing technical support to the provincial administrations in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab for passage/drainage of flood water from the affected areas. Dilating upon various projects, he said that in addition to implementing Right Bank Outfall Drain (RBOD) Project, WAPDA is also constructing small and medium-sized projects including Darawat, Nai Gaj, Naulong, Ghabir and Kurram Tangi dams. These projects will help control floods caused by the torrential rains particularly in Sindh and Balochistan, besides socio-economic development in the areas.
