China has made fast progress on the construction of Pakistan’s Mohmand Dam, with concrete filling now officially started. This is an important achievement in the project’s journey and shows that the work is moving ahead quickly.
The Mohmand Dam is one of Pakistan’s key hydropower projects and is being built in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. The dam is meant to help generate electricity, store water for irrigation, and reduce the risk of flooding in nearby areas.
Construction on the dam first began in 2019. It is being handled by the China Energy Engineering Corporation, a state-owned Chinese company. The project was originally expected to be completed by 2026. However, with the pace of work now increasing, there is hope that major parts may be finished earlier than planned.
The start of concrete filling is a big step because it means the base structure is ready, and the dam is slowly taking shape. It also reflects the close partnership between China and Pakistan, especially in large infrastructure projects that are important for Pakistan’s development.
Officials have praised this progress and said it brings Pakistan one step closer to solving its energy and water shortage problems. The Mohmand Dam will not only produce clean electricity but also provide much-needed water for agriculture and help control floods in the region.
