SUKKUR
\nFederal Minister for Water Resources Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah said Monday that the current government would definitely complete its constitutional term, adding that the caretaker setup would be installed on the 11th, 12th or 13th of August after the completion of the term.
\nWhile talking to the media in Sukkur after receiving a briefing from the irrigation authorities on Sukkur barrage and meeting a delegation from Balochistan, he said that an emergency would have to be imposed to extend the term which, he stated, would not be a good thing.
\n\u201cThere is no problem of water shortage in the country, and it is hoped that there will be no problem of water shortage in Rabi season as well,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter many years, the level of Tarbela Dam has increased to 12.6 feet after which the spillways of Tarbela Dam have been opened,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cIn the meeting with the delegation of Balochistan, we have heard their concerns. There is some water issue which they have the right to discuss. We have addressed some of their concerns and some will be resolved in the meeting on July 6 next. 2,000 cusecs of water will be provided to Balochistan,\u201d he stated.
\n\u201cAn agreement has been reached with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). After this agreement, the situation will improve because there were other issues too, with international organisations besides IMF, that will now be resolved,\u201d he pointed out.
\nThe Balochistan Assembly speaker and irrigation secretary were among those who met Khursheed Shah to present concerns of the Balochistan government regarding the water issue. The federal minister assured them of addressing all their concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
