SRINAGAR, July 27: A nine member Pakistani delegation is reaching here tomorrow to visit Baglihar power project which is being built by India on River Chenab in Jammu region. The delegation held a round of talks in Delhi earlier this week. Chief secretary S S Kapur will host lunch for the delegation. According to a senior government official, the delegation led by Syed Jamaat Ali Shah; commissioner Indus Water Pakistan has arrived in New Delhi on July 25. "The delegation will arrive in Jammu tomorrow and will remain here till August 1," the official said. He said a round of talks was held in New Delhi. "A round of talks on Kishen Ganga Hydro Power project was held in Delhi by the delegation with their counterparts from July 25 to 28," the official added. He said, Pakistan had objected that India was turning the direction of river Kishen Ganga to Kashmir to set up the power project, which will be harmful for Neelam-Jehlum complex in Muzaffarbad and Pakistan Administered Kashmir as this will reduce ability of power production due to shortage of water in other Kashmir. Chief secretary S S Kapur told Kashmir Times that he is hosting lunch for delegation on July 29. "Those are our honoured guests and I am hosting lunch for them," he said. The World Bank finally gave India the go-ahead for the controversial Baglihar Power Project and the Bank-appointed neutral experts asked India to reduce the height of the dam by 1.5 metre, earlier proposed to be 144.5 metre. In 2005, Pakistan had sought the intervention of the World Bank, which is the third party to the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan alleged that the construction of the project was in violation of the accord. As per the provisions of the treaty, the neutral expert's decision would be final. The project would produce 900 MW of power, of which 450 MW would go to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which faces acute shortage of electricity. Over two decades back, Pakistan raised serious objections over the 480 MW Salal Pani Bijli projects, on river Chenab in Jammu province. Pakistan contended that storage of water in dams on this project could dry the rivers and canals downstream and can also later be used for flooding of the lower riparian states. India budged to the pressure and made design change in the dam. Another serious bone of contention between the two countries is Kishenganga project -a tributary based project on river Jehlum. The Kishenganga project entails construction of dam at the Kishenganga (Neelam) River. The proposed 103-metre high reservoir could submerge almost the entire Gurez valley. From this reservoir, water will flow through a channel and a 27 kilometres tunnel dug south through the North Kashmir mountain range. The channel will change the course of Neelam River by around 100 kilometers, which will finally join the Wullar Lake and Jehlum River near the northern township of Bandipora. Presently, the Neelam and Jehlum rivers join each other at Muzaffarabad (in Pakistan administered Kashmir) at a point called Domail. Through the proposed Wullar barrage project, India plans to maintain constant yearly flow in Jehlum. Pakistan has serious objections on this project. As a consequence of this 100- kilometer diversion of the Neelam River, Pakistan's Neelam Valley could dry up and become a desert.
