Explanation: Jhelum is the river on which the 330 MW Kishanganga Hydropower Project was recently inaugurated by the Prime Minister in northern Kashmir’s Gurez. The PM also laid down the foundation stone for Pakal Dul hydro power project. The Kishanganga Hydroelectric project is an $864 million dam which is part of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric scheme that is designed to divert water from the Kishanganga River to a power plant in the Jhelum River basin. It is located 5 km north of Bandipore in Jammu and Kashmir. It also lies to the north of Wular Lake. Pakistan has raised several objections to the Kishanganga Project in the past. Pakistan has complained that the Kishanganga Project affects its own Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Plant. However, India maintains that the project would not have any impact on rivers flowing into the neighbouring country. The 1,000-megawatt Pakal Dul hydroelectric power project on Marusadar River, a tributary of Chenab River, in Jammu and Kashmir will provide 12% free power to the state. The project will not only be the largest hydroelectric power project in the state but also the first storage unit.
