According to the Times of India report, through this ambitious scheme, the entire use of India’s stake in the western rivers Indus, Jhelum and Chenab of the Indus river system will be ensured. Along with this, the water of eastern rivers like Ravi, Beas and Sutlej will also be used in full use. This will prevent those extra water flows which were still flowing towards Pakistan.

Pakistan will crave drop-drop

Home Minister Amit Shah, while indicating the scheme on Saturday, said that in the coming three years, Indus water will be transported to Sriganganagar in Rajasthan. He clearly stated that after this scheme, Pakistan will have to yearn for every drop ‘, while the farmers of India will get plenty of irrigation facility.

Under this scheme, water supply network will be strengthened through tunnels and canals in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. There is also a plan that the length of the Ranbir Canal associated with Chenab in Kashmir should be increased from 60 kilometers to 120 kilometers. Along with this, the possibility of fully use of Pratap Canal is also being searched.

Another part of this big project is the Ravi-Beas link, which was also proposed earlier but now it is being revived under the canal system. Under this, a barrage will be built on the Ravi river, so that excess water can be diverted towards Beas Basin through a tunnel. Ujh, a major tributary of Ravi, is also proposed to have a multi -purpose (electricity, irrigation and drinking water) project, which is under preparation to implement it soon. This includes moderate and long -term measures include hydroelectric projects such as pakal dul (1,000 MW), Ratley (850 MW), Kiru (624 MW) and Quar (540 MW) on Chenab, which is aimed at maximum exploitation of India’s share.
