Shahpur Kandi Dam Nears Completion as Ujh Project Gains Momentum.

The Shahpur Kandi dam project is nearing completion, while the revival process for the Ujh multipurpose project has been finalised, paving the way for progress on two major water and power projects in the region.

Once commissioned, the two projects are expected to generate hundreds of megawatts of electricity and provide irrigation to large tracts of land across Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh, in a video shared on social media, said the Shahpur Kandi project, being constructed on the Ravi river, was almost complete.

The projects are expected to strengthen power generation and irrigation infrastructure in the two neighbouring regions, while making greater use of the water resources of the Ravi and Ujh rivers.
