Attabad Landslide Lake
As per orders of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the work
regarding Lowering of Water Level in Attabad Landslide Lake was awarded to FWO
with NESPAK as Consultant. Accordingly CDWP approved the project “Lowering of
Water Level in Attabad Landslide Lake on 21-01-2011 at a cost of Rs. 662.5
million for a period of one year up-till November, 2011. The project could not
be completed in the prescribed time due to a number of difficulties specific to
that area i.e. extreme weather conditions, high flow of water in the river and
lack of repair and maintenance facilities etc. Therefore, with the approval of
Secretary the project was extended up-till June, 2013. Later on, due to
increase in the scope of the work, the project was revised with the approval of
CDWP at an enhanced cost Rs. 995 million at time extension up-till June, 2014,
As per revised PC-I, the contract with FWO has been extended up-till June,
2014, whereas the case for extension to the consultancy contract of NESPAK is under
consideration in the Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform since
February, 2013.
