Centre Gives Nod To Nearly 6,000-Cr Multi-Purpose Project In J-K

The central government has approved a nearly 6,000-crore multi-purpose project to provide uninterrupted water for irrigation to farmers in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district and to produce power, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Monday.

It was decided at a high-level meeting that the work for the Ujh multi-purpose project will start immediately and an appropriate mechanism will be developed to utilise the surplus water on the Indian side itself, he said in a statement.
