Issues of Tehri dam displaced people to be discussed with Ministry of Power today

A meeting will be held at the Shram Shakti Bhawan in the national capital on Friday to redress the rehabilitation and resettlement related issues of those affected by the Tehri dam project. According to sources, it is expected that this meeting to be held between the Uttarakhand Government and the Ministry of Power could possibly result in resolution of various issues of the Tehri dam displaced which have been pending for years.

It is pertinent to mention here that despite various rounds of meetings held between the State government and THDC India Limited, the issues of the Tehri dam displaced could not be resolved. Due to this, a meeting has been called on Friday between the State’s Irrigation minister Satpal Maharaj and the Union minister of State for Power, Rajkumar Singh in the national capital.
