Discussions were held on India’s proposed Miyar, Lower Kalnai and Pakal Dul hydropower projects.
The Miyar Hydropower plant is located on Miyar Nallah, a right bank tributary of Chenab River.
With the 120 MW-capacity it is located in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul Spiti district.
It is the run-of-the river project with a barrage type structure.
The design of the Miyar project was received by Pakistan from India in the year 2009.
Pakal Dul hydropower project was being constructed on the Marusadar River -a major right bank tributary of the Chena River in the Indian held Kashmir.
Talking about the 48MW Lower Kalnai, the official said the project was being constructed by India on the Lower Kalnai River, which was also a left bank tributary of the Chenab River.
Besides Miyar and Lower Kalnai, Pakistan has been flagging concerns over designs of India’s Pakal Dul (1000 MW), Ratle (850 MW) and Kishanganga (330 MW) hydropower projects, being built or planned in the Indus river basin, contending these violate the treaty.
