Summary India has planned to erect another power plant of 120 MW on Chenab River in occupied Kashmir.
It has also sought permission from Pakistan for materialization of the project. Federal government’s representative told Dunya News that Pakistan has been provided the documents and map of the expected power house situated at Odheypur about 600 km far from Marala Barrage under the Sindh Tas Agreement. These documents would be returned to India after reviewing their pros and cons in detail. Pakistani team of experts led by Commissioner Sindh Tas Asif Baig is reviewing the planned project of Indian government. Experts are of the view that the design of Indian project is likely to be objectionable. Sources further revealed that India wants to erect a wall with the height of 25 feet for power house by changing the direction of supporting nullah and would accumulate 1300 acre feet water in the lake. After Baglihar Dam, this is second project which is likely to be completed in May, 2019.
