PULI-KHUMRI (Pajhwok): Reconstruction work on the Ajmer Canal dam in northern Baghlan province was launched on Saturday.
Governor Mohammad Akbar Barakzai inaugurated the dam’s reconstruction project worth 21 million afghanis.
The governor said the Ajmer canal originates from the first dam in Pul-i-Khumri, which irrigates thousands of acres of land in central Baghlan districts.
He said the construction of the dam would not only irrigate land but also increase the water level of the second dam and reduce the problem of power outages.
Mohammad Asif Rahimi, director of the provincial Water Management Authority, said the dam . . .
