ISLAMABAD: Owing to alleged ignorance of the federal government, not a single Pakistani concerned official has participated in a week-long important conference of the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) held in Marseille, France. The sources said that the recommendations of ICLOD most often play key role in ensuring the foreign financing for the construction of large dams projects across the globe. They said that Pakistan National Committee on Large Dams made special arrangements for Pakistani delegations. They said acting Chairman WAPDA Naveed Asghar Chaudhary along with some WAPDA officials was expected to attend the conference. ICOLD is an organization dedicated to the sharing of professional information, knowledge & standards of the design, construction, maintenance, and impact of large dams.
