The project team at Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project in Pakistan has restored the 150ft long tunnel collapse in the project’s tailrace tunnel.
During a visit to the project site, Chairman WAPDA Engr Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani (Retd) witnessed the construction activities and appreciated the efforts of the project team consisting of WAPDA, China Gezhouba Group Company (CGGC), and the consultants of the project.
