River diversion works are in full swing at Diamer Basha Dam

The river diversion work is an important milestone which have to achieve in dry season for the construction of the Main Dam weir. The works are in progress with full force and are expected to be completed by the end of this month.
The diversion system consists of Diversion Canal and Diversion Tunnels (1&2) which are about 2000m (912m & 1041m). Due to the larger cross-sectional area of horseshoe-shaped tunnels (220m²), the excavation was divided into layers.

On completion, the project will irrigate 1.23 million acres of land and generate 18 billion units of green, clean, and low-cost hydel electricity per annum. A sum of Rs.78.5 billion is being spent on the resettlement of affectees and CBMs in health, education, and infrastructure development.
