“We are going through a difficult time here,” Akhbab Sharif said, “it is my duty to ensure the safety of every employee in the working area. I should do my part to prevent the epidemic.”

“Safety first,” noted Akhbab Sharif. Facing the combined pressure of the epidemic prevention work and the critical juncture of project progressing, Akhbab Sharif, along with his colleges, checked the construction site every single day to ensure the safety of workers.

Sponsored by CGGC, a Chinese construction and engineering company, SK Hydropower Project is a run-of-the-river project being established alongside the Kunhar River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is also one of Pakistan’s largest private sector power development projects and is being constructed as part of CPEC’s “Early Harvest” projects.

The construction of this project will greatly help Pakistan to overcome the economic downturn caused by COVID-19. It creates job opportunities, improves the living standard of local residents and increases the tax revenue of Pakistan, the report added.
