Interesting facts about this location
Uri Dam
Uri Dam is a 480 MW hydroelectric power station on the Jhelum River near Uri in Baramula district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is located very near to the Line of Control, the de facto border between India and Pakistan. The station is largely built under a hill with a 10 km tunnel. It is of the run-of-the-river type without a large dam, since the Indus Waters Treaty gives Pakistan the exclusive right to regulate the Jhelum River.
