| Take over of Salal, Dul Hasti, Uri projects from NHPC | | Civil Society threatens to move court | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, Nov 29 The Civil Society Group spearheading the Movement for return of Power Projects from the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Tuesday warned that they would approach the court if the state government fails to take back the power projects from the Corporation.
“The NHPC has failed to provide lease or ownership rights documents on Salal, Dul Hasti and Uri Civil. The NHPC had been given deadline upto November 12. But it seems the government is not serious,” Bashir Assad, an active member of the Group told news agency.
Group delegation also has called on Chief Secretary Madhav Lal and Commissioner Secretary PHE and Irrigation, Mehboob Iqbal in Jammu in this regard. The group handed over a letter “Demand of Justice” to the Chief Secretary in which the government has asked what steps it has taken against the NHPC after the November 12 deadline expired.
Under State Water Resources Act, the action by the government could range from penalizing the Corporation to even stopping water supply to its projects.
Group said that under the Act the Corporation, which is setting up another five to seven projects in the state, had to complete formalities including obtaining license from Irrigation Department within one year to harness state water resources for power generation from four power projects presently run by it -480 MWs Uri-I, 390 MWs Dulhasti, 690 MWs Salal and 120 MWs Sewa-II.
They warned that they would approach the court incase the government fails to take over the projects.
