The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to seek a loan from the World Bank to finance irrigation rehabilitation and flood protection projects in flood-hit areas.
Approval for the loan was placed on the agenda of the provincial cabinet meeting. However, as the meeting was postponed, the proposal will now be presented at the next cabinet session for approval.
Officials said the proposed financing would be used to strengthen flood protection infrastructure, rehabilitate damaged irrigation systems and improve the province’s ability to handle future floods and reduce losses caused by natural disasters.
The cabinet will also consider the creation of a new tehsil named Umarzai in Charsadda district. The proposal has been included in the agenda of the next meeting.
Other items on the cabinet agenda include amendments to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Counter Terrorism Wing Service Rules, 2026.
The cabinet will also review a proposal to host three South Asian Games events in Peshawar and approve the funds needed to organise the competitions.
