NHPC fails Bandipora's beautification promises: Usman Majid

Srinagar, Aug 28: Former Planning Minister and MLA Bandipora, Usman Majid, today said that NHPC has failed in Bandipora's beautification promises

In a statement, he said, “NHPC has failed in its responsibility to contribute to the development of Bandipora. Despite being duty-bound to utilise their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for the beautification of the Mantrigam, Pazalpora, Pethkoot, Kralpora and Bunkoot areas, NHPC has neglected this obligation.”

Majid pointed out that the roads in these areas are in a deplorable state, filled with potholes and dust, causing immense inconvenience and health problems for the residents.

The area, known for its lush greenery and natural beauty, has suffered due to NHPC's neglect. He emphasised that instead of utilising the area's resources and CSR funds for beautification, NHPC has allowed the infrastructure to deteriorate, tarnishing the landscape and causing further hardship for the local people.

The lack of basic amenities and infrastructure development has left the people frustrated and suffering.

Majid also criticised NHPC for neglecting the entire village where they constructed the power project, leaving it in shabby conditions. He demanded that if NHPC is providing CSR funds to the government, they should make it public where these funds are being utilised for the area.
