<h1>Chief Minister pushes Tulbul Navigation barrage revival and Chenab water lifting project after Indus Water Treaty suspension</h1> The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir is advocating for two water infrastructure projects following the central government's decision to keep the 1960 Indus Water Treaty in abeyance after a terror attack. The first project involves reviving the Tulbul Navigation barrage in Sopore, which would enable navigation on the Jhelum River and increase electricity generation for downstream power projects during winter. Originally conceived in 1986 but suspended in 1987 due to Pakistani objections, the project would also help manage flood waters. The second project proposes lifting water from the Chenab River at Akhnoor to address Jammu city's increasing water shortage, potentially providing a sustainable water source for two to three decades. The Chief Minister, a long-time critic of the treaty calling it 'unfair,' has confirmed discussions with the central government and noted a senior advisor's recent visit to review these projects, suggesting potential approval for implementation.
