Sindh CM reviews Sukkur water supply project
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah chaired a high-level meeting in Karachi on Sunday to review the Sukkur Water Supply Project.
Meeting attendees and agenda
The gathering at CM House included Local Government Minister Nasir Hussain Shah and Special Assistant Qasim Naveed. Sukkur Mayor Arsalan Sheikh and CEO Jatin Kumar also attended the session with other officials. Syed Murad Ali Shah, the Chief Minister, stressed that all residents deserve access to clean drinking water.
Population growth drives need
Officials informed the chief minister that Sukkur's population increased by approximately 68 percent between 1998 and 2023. Such fast growth demands a contemporary water network able to satisfy both current and upcoming needs. The government must ensure sustainable supply with adequate capacity for the growing urban landscape.
Sister city proposal discussed
A proposal to establish a sister-city relationship between Sukkur and Yichang in China is under consideration. This partnership aims to help Sukkur learn from Yichang's development experience along the Yangtze River. Improvements to the barrage could create a harmonious combination of modern facilities and natural attractions.
