Chenab Today
This river has been in the news of late due to the steps taken by the Indian government to build a number of hydroelectric power dams along its length (in India), notably Baglihar Dam, as part of the Indus Basin Project. These planned projects on Chenab have been "contested" by Pakistan, though Pakistan's objections have been dismissed by the Indian government.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
