The government has filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court to allow the completion of seven under-construction hydro power projects in Uttarakhand, Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav informed Parliament on Thursday.
The affidavit has been filed as the apex court had given direction to the government to come out with a common policy framework regarding hydro electric power projects in upper stretches of River Ganga basin while hearing a case ‘Alaknanda Power Company Vs Anuj Joshi and Others’, he said.
