Explanation:

The first statement is correct. The Tulbul Navigation Project, also known as the Wullar Barrage, involves the construction of a lock on the Jhelum River.

The second statement is incorrect. While Pakistan has raised objections to the project, it is not specifically related to irrigation or hydroelectric power generation. Pakistan's objections are mainly centered around concerns related to the flow of water in the Jhelum River, which affects its share of water under the Indus Waters Treaty.
