Indus Water Treaty creating hurdles in J&K’s Potential Hydel Power generation : Omar Abdullah

NVI Correspondent

New Delhi/Srinagar, Nov 12 (NVI): Chief Minister, J&K, Omar Abdullah, today highlighted the implications of Indus Water Treaty (IWT) on river-rich Jammu & Kashmir, which restricts its ability to harness its huge hydel power potential primarily due to storage constraints.

As a fallout of the treaty barriers, the Chief Minister said J&K pays a heavy price in peak winter months when power generation hits low, creating hardships for its people.

The Chief Minister, who also holds the charge of Power portfolio, was speaking during the Conference of Power Ministers of States & UT, here today.

Union Minister for Power, Manohar Lal, chaired the conference, which was also attended by Additional Chief Secretary to Chief Minister, Dheeraj Gupta, Principal Secretary Power, J&K, H. Rajesh Prasad and MDs of J&K Discoms as part of J&K delegation.

Minister of State for Power, Shripad Yesso Naik, was also present in the Conference which was attended by Power Ministers and senior Government functionaries from all over the country.

Speaking at the conference, Omar highlighted the limiting clauses in the Indus Water Treaty that restricts Jammu & Kashmir from realizing its full hydel potential by only permitting run-of-the-river projects.

“Hydel power is J&K’s only viable energy source. The region is compelled to rely on power imports from other States, which adversely impacts its economy.

To address this, J&K would require special compensation from the Government of India, including viability gap funding and equity assistance, to harness its untapped hydro-energy potential,” he said, adding the support would not only help in meeting the region’s energy needs but also contribute to national clean energy goals.

Chief Minister also sought Centre’s intervention in holding Central Public Sector Undertakings like PESL and National Thermal Power Corporation accountable in fast tracking loss reduction works under the premier Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme in J&K.

The Chief Minister also requested Power Ministry to consider gap funding for implementation of electric infra works under RDSS.

During the session on solar power potential and green energy, the Chief Minister dwelled upon the solar power energy being generated in Ladakh and said that J&K would like to procure extra energy the UT is is able to generate.

Earlier, Omar Abdullah arrived here on Monday evening to participate in the Conference of Power Minister of States & UTs at India International Convention & Expo Centre Dwarka.

He stayed for the entire day and participated in all technical sessions and put forth viewpoint of J&K Government during the conference.—(NVI)

Ladakh Police solves 26 Year Old Quadruple murder case, Arrests three suspects

NVI Correspondent

Srinagar, Nov 12 (NVI) :- In Ladakh, in a landmark breakthrough, Kargil Police have solved a 26-year-old quadruple murder case, leading to the arrest of three suspects.

This resolution marks a significant victory for law enforcement in Ladakh and brings long-awaited justice to the victims’ families.

An official told NVI that the case, dating back to October 7, 1998, involved the disappearance of four men: Mohd Ali from Tangole, Haji Anayat Ali from Karghi, Shero Ali from Kathua, and Nazir Ahmad.

The victims, who were traveling to Wardwan to buy livestock, were reported missing by Bashir Ahmad, Mohd Ali’s brother. Early investigations led to suspicions surrounding three individuals, Mohd Rafeeq, Mohd Fareed, and Abdul Aziz, alleged to have kidnapped the men.

A formal complaint by Haji Anayat’s nephew, Mohd Yusuf, resulted in an FIR under Section 364 RPC on April 17, 1999.

The suspects were initially apprehended in 1999 but were released due to insufficient evidence, and the case was ultimately closed as “untraced” in 2007. However, in 2011, a major breakthrough came when skeletal remains near Kanital Glacier were identified as belonging to two of the victims, prompting a court-ordered reopening of the case in 2012, official said.

Despite the suspects’ nomadic lifestyle and frequent relocations, Kargil Police pursued every lead, tracking the suspects using mobile data and credible sources.

A carefully coordinated operation led to the suspects’ arrest in Hira Nagar, Kathua. During interrogation, the suspects confessed and directed officers to the remote crime scene.

The complex operation, led by SHO Inspector Manzoor Hussain and supervised by SP Mujeeb-ur-Rehman and SSP Shree Ram, involved trekking through harsh terrain and extreme weather to recover crucial evidence.

SSP Shree Ram stated that this case “reaffirms that justice, though delayed, will never be denied.” The success of the operation has earned Kargil Police widespread praise, highlighting their commitment to justice and the resilience of the local law enforcement community.—(News Vibes of India)
