Arlekar said, “The Himalayan region has its own problems which need to be solved collectively. The Himalayan Grid could be considered on the same lines as the Coastal Guard Grid for the coastal regions.”

He said he had taken up the issue with the Union Defence Minister. “Natural calamities in the Himalayan regions could be solved through such platforms.”
