Questions are being asked about the Rs 399-crore project to desilt Jhelum and expand the flood spill channels to increase the water carrying capacity in order to avoid a 2014-like situation in the Valley.

The project was approved after 2014 floods, which caused massive silting in Jhelum. There were several components of the project which included dredging of Jhelum, land acquisitions for expanding the flood spill channels, among others. “What was the PDP-BJP government doing after the devastating floods of 2014? What happened to dredging of Jhelum? Where did the money go?” tweeted Omar Abdullah, former J&K CM.
