Gurdaspur dam work to resume after Centre brokers agreement between Punjab and J&K

Official sources said work on the Shahpur Kandi dam project at Gurdaspur in Punjab will “resume soon” following the agreement between the two states facilitated by the Water Resources Ministry. The Centre on Friday brokered an agreement between the states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir over a stalled under-construction hydropower project that will help India improve the utilisation of its share of river waters under the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan.
