| High level team inspects Kishanganga project | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, June 18 (KNS): A high level water commissioners team comprising 10 members each of International Court of Arbitration, India and Pakistan Saturday inspected 330 MW Kishanganga hydro power project in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Saturday.
Sources said delegation members early morning left for Gurez to inspect the ‘disputed’ Kishanganga project in Gurez area of Bandipora district.
Pakistan objects to this 330-megawatt diversion hydro project over the river Kishanganga in Gurez Valley. Kishanganga hydropower project is being built on Kishanganga river, which flows into Pakistan, and was objected by Islamabad claiming that the project violates Indus Water Treaty (IWT) reached between the two countries.
Pakistan had sued India in the International Arbitration Court accusing the latter of gross violation of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, brokered by the World Bank to settle water disputes between the two countries.
As per Pakistan, India holds back water flow to the country at her will. Islamabad says that New Delhi leverages to strangulate agro-industrial life-line in the country. As far as reports from India are concerned, the project is likely to be completed in February, 2014.
