“Rupani Development Foundation\u201d is planning to bring in entrepreneurs for Power projects in the Northern Areas. Brig. (retd.) Hisam Ullah Baig, SI (M), vice president of the foundation, has informed Pamir Times about the foundations’s\u00a0future plans.\u00a0 According to him there are questions about “safety of the investment” that need policy level consideration. In a letter addressed to the KANA division the foundation has sought clarification about\u00a0govermental policies for private power generation investment.<\/p>\n
Government\u00a0quarters have said that a policy is being formulated in this regard for Gilgit – Baltistan \u00a0and would, shortly, be submitted to the Chief Executive, Ghazanfar Ali Khan,\u00a0for\u00a0approval.<\/p>\n
Rupani Development Foundation can do the people of\u00a0northern areas a great service by\u00a0filling the energy gap, especially during the cold winters. However,\u00a0the viabilty of such projects\u00a0is\u00a0being questioned\u00a0on the grounds that already the government has either completed or is starting a lot of\u00a0hydro power generation plants through out the region. Besides it is being said that private investors are largely concerned about their profits and the public might not be\u00a0in a position to pay their bills. A week ago we saw a shutter down protest in Gilgit against raise in power terrifs.\u00a0\u00a0The question being asked is what different would the Rupani’s offer to\u00a0power starved\u00a0land of glaciers, wind and torrents!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
