Abstract

The article focuses on the Indian government's expedited process for granting environmental clearances for infrastructure projects in the Indus River Basin in Jammu and Kashmir. This decision follows the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty after a recent attack in Pahalgam. Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav emphasized that the ministry will ensure swift approvals for strategic projects, including hydro-electric ventures like Uri Stage-II, Kirthai-II, and Sawalkot, which aim to provide clean energy and enhance water storage. The initiative also includes fast-tracking approvals for irrigation and water storage projects to optimize the use of Indus waters, reflecting a commitment to prioritize national and strategic projects in the region.
