Mehbooba Mufti urges CM Omar abdullah to push for NHPC power projects’ return to J&K
A day after chief minister Omar Abdullah stressed that Indus Water Treaty was restricting the UT’s ability to harness its huge hydel power potential, Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti joined the discourse and urged the CM to first seek return of National Hydroelectric Power Corporation power projects established in the UT from the Centre. Former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti Mufti, while reacting to Omar’s speech during a conference of power ministers of states & UTs in New Delhi, said instead of making IWT an issue, the focus should be on the return of power projects which were handed over to NHPC. “Omar’s and our focus should be that the government of India should return at-least two power projects to Jammu and Kashmir. While calling IWT “unfair” to Jammu and Kashmir, Lone questioned, “May I as a Kashmiri ask what have the previous ruling parties, especially the NC, which has been in power for the longest time, done with our water resources?” He added that projects controlled by NHPC are among its most profitable, yet Jammu and Kashmir remains a net power importer.
