We Kashmiris want our Power Plants back

1) 30% of the present Indian hydroelectricity is produced in Kashmir....

2) 7 out of the 11 hydroelectric projects announced by NHPC are located in Kashmir accounting to 60% of the total electricity production. ...

3) NHPC in rest of the Indian ......States works on 50:50 sharing basis...i.e. 50% of the electricity goes to the state and 50% is given to NHPC for the investment they put.... But in Kashmir the equation changes.... Only12% is given to Kashmir as a royalty and 88% is taken away by NHPC & supplied to the northern grid of INDIA via Punjab to DELHI HARYANA etc...

4) Incidently, Peak hour requirement of Electricity in Kashmir is 2000 Megawatts.... Not able to fulfil it, the government of J&K has to buy electricity worth 3600 crores annually from the same northern grid to which it supplies its produced electricity....

5) NHPC succeeds in producing the cheapest possible electricity in Kashmir i.e 25 paise per unit... But to fulfill its peak hour requirement, Kashmir has to buy the same electricity at 10 Rupees a unit from the northern grid.... What profits man...

6) Indus water treaty which was signed between India & Pakistan lays down the sharing pattern of the water bodies originating in Kashmir... As per that treaty, 3 rivers are shared by India to fulfill its water deficiency and the rest of the 3 are shared by Pakistan...... what Kashmir gets in return is 12 % royalty from India..... hahaha... i feel like laughing on them;

7) Punjab owes 1000s of crores to kashmir but the problem is that instead of raising a voice nobody cares....

8) As per the figures given by Chief minister OMAR ABDULLAH in may 2010, Kashmir suffers an annual loss of 50000 crores when its water is used by India and Pakistan.... Keeping the share 50%, Kashmir is suffering a loss of whooping 25000 crores annulay because of INIDA..... Incidently, in the year 2009-10, Kashmir received an annual central assistance of 13952 crores from India.....

9) Out of these 13952 crores, 3600 crores was spent on buying its own electricity from the northern grid which was stolen by INida.... 5500 crores was used for the defense purpose just because 900000 troops are present to guard kashmir from 1500 militants (Government figure) present over here..... Rest of the money is being used for development purpose.........
