TLAWNG HYDEL PROJECT TO GENERATE 120 MW OF POWER

Lamtluang Online News: The Tlawng Hydel Project, which aims to generate 120 megawatts of power, involves the construction of a dam on the Tlawng river in North Lungleng. The project is expected to play a crucial role in meeting the power demands of the region.

According to Minister Pu F. Rodingliana, the project will have a water storage capacity of 1,009.6 million cubic metres, and the water used for power generation will be released back into the Tlawng river, helping to maintain a stable water flow.

The Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, sanctioned Rs 11.55 crore in 2014 for the survey and investigation and preparation of the detailed project report (DPR) of the Tlawng HEP, which will be implemented by the Central Water Commission (CWC).

The CWC has already completed topographical surveys, geotechnical investigations, seismic studies, and construction material surveys. The foundation study for the dam site is currently underway, and the drifting work to investigate the presence of underground caves is being carried out.

The tender for the work has already been floated, and the tender evaluation process is currently underway. It is expected that the work will be completed within about four months if it progresses smoothly.

Once the drifting work is completed, the exact location and quantity of the dam's foundation will be determined. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is expected to be completed by around 2025.

Once the DPR is completed, the Mizoram government will take immediate action to implement the project. The project is also expected to alleviate the water scarcity problems faced by Aizawl city during the dry season, as the Tlawng river will provide a reliable source of water.

The project will also generate employment opportunities for the local population and contribute to the overall economic development of the region. The dam will submerge an area of 2888 hectares of uncultivable land and 187 hectares of cultivable land.

The project is expected to be completed within the stipulated timeframe, and the Mizoram government is committed to ensuring that the project is implemented in a transparent and accountable manner.

The press conference was chaired by Pi K. Lalrinzuali, IAS, Secretary, Power & Electricity Department, and was also attended by Er. Lalnithanga, Chief Engineer, Er. C.
