SHIMLA. SJVN’s Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station recently partnered with the National Dam Safety Authority to host a major safety and disaster awareness program in Jhakri. Opened by local and national officials, the event brought together experts from top organizations like ISRO and the NDRF to teach local residents about flood management, weather tracking, and emergency readiness.
