Pak team to inspect JK power projects

AGENCIES

Lahore, July 24: India has agreed to allow Pakistan to inspect the two under-construction hydropower projects on the Indus river in Jammu and Kashmir to allay Islamabad’s concerns over their designs.
The visit to the Nimmo-Bazgo and Chutak hydropower plants will take place in August. The decision was taken in the periodic talks between the Indus Water Commissioners of the two countries being held in Lahore.
Earlier, in May, Pakistan had demanded that its officials be allowed to visit the plants. During the meeting, Pakistan also raised the issue of polluted water inflows from India.
Meanwhile, Indian Commissioner Aranga Nathan reassured his Pakistani counterpart Jamaat Ali Shah that he would take up the issue with the department concerned in India, The Dawn reports.
The two teams also discussed proposals to make the commission more effective to dispel the perception that the water pact is losing its utility.
