A comprehensive fact-check review has debunked a tweet shared by @TheLegateIN on X, which claimed that India plans to add 5,500 MW hydropower in Jammu and Kashmir despite Pakistani complaints. The post originated from India-linked propaganda accounts, not credible sources. Actual hydropower projects in the region are part of India's long-term energy plans and are not new or reactive to Pakistani objections. The tweet misrepresents the situation and spreads disinformation. In my opinion, such propaganda aims to inflame tensions and mislead audiences about India's unilateral actions. The claim is false and should be disregarded.
