CHUKHA HYDEL PROJECT

CHUKHA HYDEL PROJECT IS THE another project I was associated . This project is in BHUTAN and this constructed under Indo-Bhutan treaty under Indian Aid.

The objective of this project is to produce Electricity and that will feed to eastern grid and India will get surplus current from Bhutan by purchase.The aid amount will be utilised for the purchse of electricity. The river is perennial one.
The dam was proposed at Chimakoti village. From the dam water will be diverted thro' tunnels to a fall of more than 300 mts to Chukha Power house and electricity will be produced .

Construction . The actual project was commenced in the year 1974, and I was associated with the pr0ject from the begginning
