Some of our local universities, in the past, had come up with some technologies that could help our communities to put up cheaper houses, so that we slow down the unplanned developments in our urban areas.

However, in my own constituency, we have a dam that was built about five years ago but is now dry. It does not only require de-silting but also rehabilitation. What action will the Assistant Minister take to ensure that the dam is rehabilitated and put to proper use? view
