The Punjab government has approved a Rs214 billion flood protection project along the Ravi River to safeguard Lahore and nearby urban areas from recurring floods. Under the plan, a 90-kilometre-long embankment will be built on both riverbanks, measuring 300 feet wide and 27 feet high, with water regulation systems to control flow and prevent flooding. Of the total cost, Rs150 billion will come through a government loan, while RUDA will provide Rs64 billion from its own resources. The decision was finalized in a high-level meeting chaired by the Housing Secretary with RUDA officials.
