The sources informed efforts are on for Faisal Vawda’s re-entry into the cabinet. They said a new minister will head Ministry for Water Resources. 

Wide-ranging changes could not be brought about earlier in the cabinet due to the opposition of now estranged PTI leader Jehangir Khan Tareen. However, the prime minister in his yesterday’s speech at Gilgit-Baltistan expressed displeasure over some ministers’ performance.
