PESHAWAR: Focal person for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, Yar Muhammad Khan Niazi, has said that the provincial government has achieved another remarkable success with the completion of the Raghagan Dam in Bajaur district.

This project, in line with the government’s people-centric and non-discriminatory vision, is set to revolutionise agriculture and the local economy.The dam, he said, which features an 11-kilometer long canal system, would irrigate 4,616 acres of barren land, significantly boosting agricultural production.

In addition to enhancing agricultural output, he added, the dam would also protect low-lying areas and populations from floods while improving groundwater reserves.“This initiative is not just a solution to agricultural and water issues but also a catalyst for the economic revitalization of Bajaur district,” he added.Efforts to promote the dam’s site as a tourist destination are expected to bring substantial economic growth to the region.
