Imran promises cheaper electric supply to Swat
 [Dawn] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... Chairman Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer... on Monday said the people of Kalam valley would get electric supply at half the Wapda price in the next summer after the revival and upgradation of the local hydropower unit. He was speaking at a public meeting here following the inauguration of work on Kalam and Ashuran hydropower projects. Provincial Chief Minister Pervez Khattak inaugurated the project by unveiling the plaque. The two projects dysfunctional since 2008 are to be mostly funded by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... . The local population will also contribute funds to them. Sarhad Rural Development Programme (SRSP) will execute the projects, which were earlier overseen by Small Hydel Development Organisation, recently made Pakhtunkhwa Hydel Development Organisation. Under the plans, Kalam and Ashuran hydropower units will be functional after upgradation in the next six months and a year respectively. Posted by: Fred 2013-08-28 |
