Executive Councilor, LAHDC, Kargil, Er. Punchok Tashi today visited 2 MW Hydel Project at Raru Lungnak to assess the project’s present status and the Kargil Renewable Energy Development Agency (KREDA) staff.
Stanzin Tangstong TA KREDA accompanied him. EC Tashi appreciated the dedication of staff for providing uninterrupted essential services to the people during the Losar festival.
He also acknowledged their efforts in maintaining and operating the project despite the harsh conditions caused by the freezing of the power channel, diversion, and forebay tank, which present significant challenges.
Eight employees, mostly from Drass, manage the project during this challenging peak winter period. EC Tashi also praised the extension of power supply to the villages of Ichar and Surley in the Cha Block.
As a token of appreciation and support, the EC presented the staff with a cash reward of Rs 15,000. He also assured them that their concerns, including the construction of a local toilet and blacktopping of the approach road, would be addressed in consultation with PD KREDA.
