DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES FOR PEOPLE OF SHAKARDAR- REHMANABAD, DISTRICT KOHAT.

To:    Mr. Syed Naveed Qamar,
          Minister for Pertroluem and Natural Resources,
          Islamabad.

Subject DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES FOR PEOPLE OF    SHAKARDAR-  REHMANABAD, DISTRICT KOHAT.

It is humbly submitted that about 0.15 Million population of Shakardara–Rehmanabad is severely suffering from poverty for the last six decades. There are no civic facilities in the area. No potable water, no standard education, no health facilities, no electricity, no gas, no roads no sources of any income or employment—in fact they still live in Stone Age. More than 60% people live below poverty line. The only source of water is River Indus which touchingly flows in the area. People fetch water from this River using their camels and donkeys by traveling for 07 km on way. They have remained deprived for a long time now. The situation is really desperate, which requires our immediate attention please.

The people have been repeatedly requesting for Mega Development Schemes including a Mega Water Supply Scheme from River Indus. The Province of NWFP could not meet their demand due to financial constraints . The people even resorted to very violent demonstrations during July, 2009 against Chanda  and Mela Oilfileds of OGDCL. Resultantly, the said gas fields could not function for a number of days till the situation was retrieved by Dr. Asim by meeting the delegation of Saghri Khattaks from Shakardara on 17 July 2009 and making some financial commitments . I was my self present during that meeting. The minutes of the said meeting are attached please.

The most important commitment was the planning and execution of a Mega Water Supply Scheme for Shakardara. Since then, the ground









survey has been completed and detailed design of the scheme has been prepared. It is now awaiting final approval by OGDCL Board / Ministry. The estimated cost is likely to be Rs. 500.00 Millions.
You are therefore requested to approve Rs. 500.00 Millions for the project and direct OGDCL to execute it at top priority please.

This scheme is like a life line for the people of Shakardara and Rehmanabad. They shall be ever obliged to you and the Govt: of PPP for this very great favor to them. A delegation of elders and community leaders of Saghri Khattaks from this area also wish to meet you in Islamabad on any date of your convenience for explaining to you their problems in greater details. You are requested to grant them the requested audience at the earliest please. The names of members of the delegation are attached herewith.

Assuring you of our fullest cooperation and best regards.

        Yours Sincerely,



                                                                                  Pir Dilawar Shah,
                                                          MNA District Kohat.


Attached:   (1) Minutes of the Meeting.
