GWADAR: A senior Pakistan Army commander and the head of the Gwadar Development Authority (GDA) conducted a joint visit to the historic Omani Fort to inspect its ongoing restoration.
Major General Habib Nawaz, the General Officer Commanding of the 44 Special Security Division, visited the site alongside DG GDA Moeen-ur-Rehman Khan. During the visit, Major General Nawaz praised the efforts to preserve Gwadar’s cultural and historical landmarks.
The DG GDA briefed the delegation that the restoration is a key part of the broader Gwadar Smart Port City Master Plan. He explained that the authority is working on a comprehensive program to protect multiple historical sites, including the Omani Fort, Charpadgo, the Telegraph Office, and the Omani and Portuguese Watch Towers.
The goal of these projects is twofold: to protect Gwadar’s rich historical identity for future generations and to boost the city’s potential for tourism and urban beauty.
Meanwhile the Director General of the Gwadar Development Authority (GDA), Moinur Rehman Khan, has conducted a series of inspections of the city’s key water supply facilities, expressing satisfaction with the overall improvement in the water situation.
During his visit to the Chawardgar Pumping Station and the Airport Water Station, the DG reviewed the supply system from Shadi Kaur Dam. He stated that Gwadar is now receiving the same amount of water it had before the local dams dried up, effectively ending the severe water shortage.
While the overall supply is stable, the DG acknowledged that some parts of the city are still facing issues due to technical problems in the distribution network. He assured residents that GDA technical teams are working to fix these issues to ensure an uninterrupted water supply to all areas.
