During his visit, the Deputy PM commended the efforts of the Kajaki Dam project officials and provided them with valuable recommendations to enhance their work.

Mullah Baradar Akhund praised the officials for their dedication to advancing such initiatives. The Deputy PM highlighted the impact of drought and water scarcity on electricity production in the past, noting that heavy rainfall this year has resulted in increased water levels in dams across the country, including Kajaki Dam. This surge in water levels is expected to bolster agricultural growth and elevate electricity production levels nationwide.
