"The government should ensure adequate compensation to the farmers whose land has been acquired for construction of the prestigious power project and also major share of jobs (at the project) to local educated youth," party state secretary MY Tarigami said in a statement in Srinagar.

The project is coming up in the picturesque Gurez valley near the Line of Control across Kishen Ganga river in Bandipora district of North Kashmir.
