Electricity crisis deepens due to dispute between departments in Pangi Valley
State Bureau, Shimla. Due to the ongoing fight between two government departments in the tribal Pangi valley, the local people are facing serious electricity problem. BJP MLA Dr. Janakraj raised this issue during zero hour.
He said that last year, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu had laid the foundation stone of the project to establish 33 KV line in Pangi Valley, of which 70 percent work has been completed. But this work remains incomplete due to lack of necessary approvals from the Forest Department.
