Tikender Singh Panwar talks about the #Kashang #Hydroelectricity Project. The project is proposed on the #Kashang and #Kerang streams - the right bank tributaries of the Satluj River in Morang tehsil of #Kinnaur districts in #HimachalPradesh. 1,000 families living in eight villages of three panchayats are to be affected by the project. These families mainly depend on commercial horticulture and selling forest produce. A total of 61 hectares of land in the #Chilgoza and #Deodar forests will be diverted for the project in addition to some agricultural land from Pangi village.
