Kishtwar, July 15: Union Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh on Friday said that Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar would become North India’s major “power hub” generating nearly 6,000 MW of power after the completion of the ongoing power projects.
Addressing a public rally through virtual mode from Jammu, as he could not make it to Kishtwar due to inclement weather, Dr Jitendra said that the surplus power from Kishtwar would not only be utilised for other parts of the UT, but would also be sold to other states. He lamented that the rich natural resources of Chenab were not exploited by the previous governments which ruled J&K for 60-65 years.
