Six States and Centre Sign Agreement for Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project
A Memorandum of Agreement was signed by six states—Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, and Haryana—and the Centre, represented by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, to advance the Kishau Multipurpose Project on the Tons river. The project includes a 236-metre dam with 660 MW hydropower capacity, irrigation for about 97,000 hectares, and drinking water supply. While the Centre will cover most costs, the project involves submergence affecting 17 villages and around 5,500 people, requiring rehabilitation efforts.
