The
Chairman PIDA Mian Yawar Zaman has directed the Farmers Organizations to
actively participate in the de silting of canals program. De silting of water channels
is inevitable for the proper flow of water and its availability in the tail
portions, he added.
It
was stated by him while chairing a progress review meeting in PIDA
headquarters. The meeting was attended by the General Manager (TM), Afzal Anjum
Toor, General Manager (OP) Muhabbat Khan, General Manager (Finance) Muhammad
Salim Malik, Deputy General Manager (SM) Syed Shaiq Hussain Abidi, Deputy
General Manager (OP) Mian abdul Rashid, Deputy General Manager (F) Najmus Saqib
Rehmani and other concerned officers.
The
Chairman while addressing in the meeting, directed the officers to facilitate
the FOs in preparing cost estimates and tendering process for de silting works.
He said that the participatory irrigation management system has been adopted to
strengthen the role of farming community in canal operations and it needs to be
supported vehemently. The chairman said that irrigation water is the basic
right of every farmer so the FOs and other concern should make the de silting
campaign more effective to achieve the target of water supply up to tail ends.
