Six States Advance Kishau Multipurpose Project After Decades of Delays
The Kishau Multipurpose Project, involving six states—Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi—has progressed after decades of delays and disputes. The Centre agreed to cover 90% of the costs, resolving financial hurdles and enabling inter-state cooperation. This project, part of a series of water dispute resolutions since 2018, aims to provide irrigation, drinking water, power generation, and ecological benefits along the Yamuna basin. Previous projects like the Lakhwar Multi-Purpose Project similarly involved multi-state agreements and infrastructure development.
