Union Govt. Proposal for 113 km long canal: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, after the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, the Central Government has proposed to construct a 113 km long canal to transfer water from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan to crave the water drop by drop to Pakistan. At the same time, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said not to support this proposal.
The Central Government has made a comprehensive proposal to prevent India’s water from flowing in Pakistan. Under this proposal, a feasibility study is being done to transfer surplus water from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. This project may reduce the flow of water in Pakistan.
Central government will work on connecting canals to 113 km long tunnel
Under the proposal, the Central Government proposed to connect the existing canal structure through several tunnels at various places in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. This proposed 113 km tunnel is expected to be launched by giving priority to 13 places for necessary connections with existing canals. The plan to divert water from the Indus river system is focused on three rivers including Jhelum, Chenab and Sindhu which flow in Pakistan. According to sources, the new canals will turn the extra water in the other direction.
The canal connecting Chenab to the Ravi-Vyas-Satire system will be ready in three years
Sources in ABP News have said that according to the current proposal, canal construction work connecting the Chenab river to the Ravi-Vyas-Satilaj system can take at least three years.
According to sources, the water of the Indus river can be transported to Ganganagar in Rajasthan through canals within three years, so that Pakistan will have to struggle for water. The Jammu Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the Central Government regarding this proposal. According to the Chamber of Commerce, this proposal can prove to be a game changer for Jammu and Kashmir.
The Center’s proposal also included the target of connecting the canal with Yamuna
The proposal also aims to connect it with Yamuna and if it happens, the canal length will be up to 200 kilometers. Sources said that it is also proposed to double the water capacity of Ranbir Canal, which draws water from the Chenab river in Jammu. The length of this canal can be increased from 60 kilometers to 120 kilometers. Apart from this, efforts will be made to use Pratap Canal at full capacity on the basis of feasibility report.
Many projects will work fast to control water
Cleaning and flushing the reservoirs of Bagihar and Salal projects built on the Chenab River in Jammu region will also be done so that the flow of water can be controlled as much as possible. Sources said that apart from this, work on Pakal Dul, Kiru, Ratle and Quar projects on the Chenab river in Kishtwar will also be intensified.
If there is no water in the taps of Jammu and Kashmir, then why should we give water to others, Omar Abdullah
At the same time, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has raised many questions about this proposal. Talking to the media in Jammu, in response to a question on the proposal of the central government to bring the water of Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab and Rajasthan, he said that we will not allow this to. He said that first let us use our water for ourselves, then we will talk about the rest. There is a drought in Jammu, there is no water in the taps of Jammu. Why should I send Punjab water?
Jk Government is working on two things to use water- Omar Abdullah
Omar Abdullah said that the government is working on two things to use Jammu and Kashmir water in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that work should start on one Tulwul Navigation Barrage and another should be pumped from Akhnoor to Jammu city.
After the terrorist attack in Basaron in Pahalgam in Kashmir Valley on 22 April, 26 civilians, including 25 tourists and a local citizen, were killed. After this, India suspended the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and took many other steps against the neighboring country.
