Chief Minister meets Vice President in New Delhi

New Delhi, Nov 13: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah called on Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Wednesday at the Vice-President’s Enclave in New Delhi.
Vice President Dhankhar’s official account shared on X, formerly Twitter, saying, “Shri Omar Abdullah ji, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir called on Hon’ble Vice-President, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar at Vice-President’s Enclave today.”
The Chief Minister is currently in the National Capital for an official visit, during which he is also scheduled to meet the President of India Droupadi Murmu and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in next two days.
This visit reflects Jammu and Kashmir’s commitment to enhance coordination with the central government.
As part of his engagements, Chief Minister Abdullah attended the Conference of Power Ministers of States & UTs on November 12, chaired by Union Minister for Power Manohar Lal Khattar.
During the conference, the Chief Minister spoke extensively on the challenges Jammu and Kashmir faces in fully harnessing the potential of its rivers for generating hydroelectric energy particularly due to the Indus Water Treaty which allows only limited use of water for run-of-the-river projects but does not permit storage of water in respect of three important river systems – Indus, Chenab and Jhelum, flowing in the river-rich Jammu and Kashmir.
Chief Minister yesterday participated actively in all technical sessions, presenting the perspective and concerns of the Jammu and Kashmir government before the national forum.
