KISHTWAR: Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar, Pankaj Kumar Sharma reviewed the functioning of the additional HRT Shalimar Lift Water Supply Scheme and took note of the issues affecting its completion and operationalisation.
During the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner issued directions to the concerned departments to resolve the pending issues and make the additional HRT Shalimar Lift functional at the earliest so that the water scarcity issue is resolved.
The GM, NHPC, was directed to allow tapping of the overflow water, which is presently getting wasted and flowing into the nallah and provide the same to the Jal Shakti Department so as to maintain a stable head in the sump tank and ensure judicious utilisation of water for Kishtwar town.
