Says It's Satisfied With Changes Made By J&K Power Development Corporation Masood Hussain SRINAGAR ISLAMABAD has cleared Baglihar project saying it is satisfied with the changes that J&K's state-run Power Development Corporation (PDC) has effected in its design as was recommended by the World Bank-appointed neutral expert Professor Raymond Lafitte early last year. Pakistan Indus Water commissioner Syed Jamaat Ali Shah who visited the project early this week examined the changes. Mr Shah on his way back home told reporters in New Delhi that his team is totally satisfied. "We are satisfied with the works. They have been executed as per the World Bank award,' reports quoting Mr Shah said. Mr Lafitte had recommended that PDC should raise the power intake by three meters from the level of 818 metres to 821 metres. Besides, it also wanted reducing the dam freeboard by 1.5 metres and lowering the pondage of the dam from existing 37.722 million cubic meters to 32.56 mcms. Denying they have any more objections to the project, Mr Shah has said while filling the dam, PDC must keep in mind the provisions of Indus Water Treaty on dead and live storage. "We must receive 55 thousand cusecs of water through river Chinab at Marala,' Mr Shah said. India and Pakistan have been fighting over this 450-mw project for last one decade as the latter was insisting that it is being set up in violation of the water sharing treaty. Islamabad finally petitioned the World Bank
