Feroz Ahmed Khan, CEC, Hill Council, Kargil expressed serious concern over the order issued by NHPC authorities to club headquarter of the NHPC Power Station at Chutuk Kargil with Basgo in Leh. 

A letter to the Lieutenant Governor, R K Mathur was submitted on August 3 seeking early action on the retention of the decision. He stated that the Chutuk Hydel Project has been established by allotment of the most valuable land by the villagers against commitments made by the NHPC authorities. 

Feroz Khan in his letter stated that the power station is a source of livelihood to many of the villagers whose ancestral lands have been allotted for its establishment.  Many locals suffered physical disabilities in the process of putting up this power project.  He said that this unilateral decision of the NHPC authorities is not acceptable either to the people of Kargil or to the LAHDC Kargil and the commitments made by offices of high standing authorities like the then NHPC heads and the authorities of the erstwhile state of J&K ought to be respected and fulfilled by the concerned at all levels. 

Feroz Khan appealed Lieutenant Governor to take up the matter with the concerned authorities of the NHPC on a top priority basis.
