Chenab Valley Power Projects Limited (CVPP) is a joint venture%20across%20river%20Chenab.) company of NHPC Limited, Jammu and Kashmir State Power Development Corporation and PTC (India) Limited for the execution of hydroelectric projects in the Chenab river basin in Kashmir's Kishtwar district. The Kiru and Kwar hydroelectric projects in the Nagseni area of Kishtwar district in Jammu, which have an installed capacity of 624 MW and 540 MW respectively, has affected more than 200 people. Rs 4.5 crore has been allocated as compensation for families affected by the Kwar project, while Rs.30 crore has been earmarked as compensation for families displaced by Kiru project. The state government, approved the Rehabilitation & Resettlement Plan for the ProjectAffected Families (PAFs) for Kiru project on 7th March, 2019. The deputy commissioner was required to constitute a committee tasked with ensuring timely disbursements of compensation to all the PAFs. Out of the 30 crores, 17.58 crores had been disbursed as of 2020, in lieu of the Kiru project. In 2020, a report by _thirdpole _noted that many villagers who had to give up their land for the Kiru project and relocate to Kishtwar town, found the compensation insufficient to purchase a plot in the town. They said promises of jobs, skills training and covering children's education were not kept. In February 2021, a Grievances Redressal Committee (GRC) visited the site of Kiru HEP, to resolve several grievances raised by the locals. Pending payment of compensation and inconsistent water supply, among others were voiced by the locals.
