Panel to inspect Salal project

Jammu, Feb 20: The Pakistan panel would be inspecting the Salal Hydro-Electric power project during their ongoing 3-day visit to the state.
 Official sources said that the team has expressed its interest to inspect the proposed construction site of Salal Hydroelectric Power project in Reasi district. They will be undertaking the inspection on February 22, they added.
 However, before visiting Reasi the panel will also inspect the main heads of Ranbir and Partap canals over river Chenab at Akhnoor on Monday.
 The IWT is a water-sharing treaty between the India and Pakistan, brokered by the World Bank. The treaty was signed in Karachi on September 19, 1960 by first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru and President of Pakistan Muhammad Ayub Khan.
 The agreement set up a commission to adjudicate any future disputes arising over the allocation of waters. The Permanent Indus Commission has survived two wars and provides an on-going mechanism for consultation and conflict resolution through inspection, exchange of data, and visits.
 The Indus Waters Treaty is the longest agreement that has been faithfully implemented and upheld by both India and Pakistan.
