untreated domestic sewerage disposal.

 Contamination and mining of the ground water.

 Environmental & Ecological effect of GBHP on Indus

river between Tarbela & Attock.

Position of NWFP

i. The ten years provincial perspective plan (2001-2011)

amounting to Rs. 163,641 million has not been reflected in
the strategy.

ii. Provincial share in the MTIP indicated as Rs 72,558 million is

hardly 9% of the total MTIP which is far short of the
requirements.

iii. The projects proposed by the province while offering

comments on the strategy have not been included.

iv. FATA totally ignored in the report of April, 2002.
