A team of Chinese experts has already conducted site visits and completed preliminary surveys. According to Nazeem, the feasibility study for the project has also been finalised, with related documentation set to be submitted to the relevant ministry in the near future. He added that the project is expected to address longstanding flooding issues in the capital.

The USD 100 million project is being funded through a grant from China, with practical work anticipated to commence next year.
