Mashna residents protest Sarvari-I hydro project

Villagers stated that the Sarvari-I project – a 4.5 MW small hydroelectric plant built on the Sarvari rivulet, a tributary of the Beas river, by DSL Hydrowatt Ltd – has caused severe damage. They say leakage from the surge shaft and head race tunnel, along with the bursting of the penstock, led to devastating landslides in August and September.
