Under the weak governance of previous administrations, such as the Congress, critical infrastructural projects like the Shahpur Kandi Dam languished, depriving farmers in Jammu of essential water for their fields. The situation left many in the dark, both figuratively and literally, as power generation remained inadequate. Instead, the rightful water resources flowed into Pakistan. However, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s decisive leadership changed the narrative. He pledged to prioritise the needs of farmers and ensure the completion of projects like the Shahpur Kandi Dam. True to his word, the dam now stands as a testament to progress, benefiting thousands of farmers in the Kathua and Samba regions. Moreover, the electricity generated from this dam promises to illuminate countless homes across Jammu and Kashmir. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s address in Jammu and Kashmir underscores his commitment to the region’s development. By harnessing its resources for a prosperous India, he aims to usher in a new era of growth and opportunity. The completion of projects like the Shahpur Kandi Dam not only fulfils promises made to the people but also symbolises a broader vision for a transformed Jammu and Kashmir.
