SRINAGAR: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated on Saturday a hydroelectric power plant in India-held Jammu and Kashmir, amid protests from Pakistan.
The 330-megawatt Kishanganga hydropower station is one of the projects that India has fast-tracked in the disputed Himalayan region amid frosty ties between the two countries.
“This region cannot only become self-sufficient in power but also produce for other regions of the country,” Modi said in Srinagar. “Keeping that in mind we have been working on various projects here in the past four years.”
Pakistan has opposed some of these projects, saying they violate a World Bank-mediated treaty on the sharing of waters from the Indus and its tributaries upon which 80 per cent of its irrigated agriculture depends.
Explainer: What is the Kishanganga dispute?
“Pakistan is seriously concerned about the inauguration [of the Kishanganga plant],” its foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday. Modi, who was on a daylong visit to the region, also flagged off the construction of the 14-kilometre-long Zojila tunnel, which would provide all-weather connectivity between the cities of Srinagar, Kargil and Leh.
The government said it would be the longest road tunnel in India and Asia’s longest two-way tunnel, to be constructed at a cost of $1 billion.
Shutdown
India-held Kashmir, meanwhile, came to a virtual standstill as groups opposed to Indian control over the region called for a shutdown to protest Modi’s visit.
Shops shut and streets in Srinagar were empty except for police and paramilitary patrols as authorities imposed maximum security for the one-day visit.
Authorities cut mobile internet services in the disputed region and ordered a curfew in parts of Srinagar.
They closed schools, colleges and universities for the day to stop any student protest. The main venue for Modi’s visit to Srinagar, the Dal Lake tourist attraction, was declared out of bounds for the public.

Pakistani leaders may keep taking their gullible public for a ride.
The fact of the matter is that India is only exercising the rights given to her under the treaty. That's why WB or any international court is coming to Pakistan"s aid.
The leaders in Pakistan will just make noise for domestic consumption.

Unfortunately the powerful seem to be winning all the time. With world indifference and even support, tomorrow, India may abrogate the Indus Water treaty, citing time and population considerations and will appear open to renegotiate another treaty. We are already parched, it will really put pressure on our establishment. We need to be ready for this.

Next move in medium term is to stop flowing the Ravi-Beas River and its tributaries water to Pakustan and divert this water to Indian Punjab and surrounding indian states as full water usage lies with india as per water treaty with pakistan. So imagaine Lahore with dry Ravi river. It will happen sooner or later. So pakistan should plan and use their water resources efficiently and by using more modren and scientific techniques.

If Pakistan was a sensible country, it would partner India in building these dams and stake out a share in the electricity produced there-of, instead of having to buy second hand refurbished, polluting coal power plants from China at exorbitant prices and usury interest rates. India has the expertise to build dams for Pakistan within Pakistan also at a reasonable price, which Pakistan seems unable to do for itself.

Why can't Pakistan build dams instead of complaining? I believe hydro power is way cheaper than any other given source of power like nuclear, coal, gas etc. and also it is clean energy.

Water used in Hydro Power Generation will not get consumed or wasted. Almost the entire quantity will be available after power generation.

@Farhan "India neither diverted water nor stored, all the water will keep flowing after electricity generation. Our leaders are incompetent to build dams and store the released water."- So obvious, so elusive.

Fot indian national.interest is supreme. Accordingly India is taking every step.for the bettement of her people's progress and prosperity. Pakistan has involved in regional disputes and combatting a proxy war with her immediate neighbours. No plan for future. Pak China Economic corridor is nothing but increasing heavy dependency and undue reliance on China.
It appears that Pakistan either state or its subjects all.are busy in satsfying theirs personal interests by hook or crook!
Kala bagh dam was not built.because consensus and unanimity could not be achieved! Who cares?

I presume, Pakistani government & people shouldn't have an issue with this project as this project helps Kashmiris.

@Shah There is nothing like stealing water. The rivers originate in India. If needed India can change the water sharing treaty to suit her interests.
