Govt approves Ravi embankment project
The Punjab government has approved the construction of a massive protective embankment along the Ravi River to safeguard urban areas from potential flood risks.
The project, costing Rs. 214 billion, aims to make Lahore safe from recurring flood threats.
The plan includes the construction of a 90-km-long retaining wall on both sides of the Ravi River. The wall will be 300-feet wide and 27-feet high with water training structures designed to regulate the river’s flow and prevent inundation.
