| Execute CSR policy; Come up with quantifiable data on IWT losses |
SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 03: Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti today asked the
State Power Development Cooperation to exploit the huge potential of solar
energy in the State in view of the straining future power market in the
country. She also asked the Corporation to come up with a quantifiable data of
the losses suffered by the State due to Indus Water Treaty.
The Chief Minister said this while chairing the Board of Directors
meeting of J&K State Power Development Corporation (JKSPDC) here today.

setting up of small solar power plants at District levels to meet the power
requirement locally. This, she said, would be in view of the low cost of
production in terms of solar power and also keeping in mind the straining power
market of the country in future.

study for quantifying the losses suffered to the State due to Indus Water
Treaty. She asked for using all professional expertise for the purpose. She

responsibility for the welfare and development of its catchment areas.
