The Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) has formally objected to Himachal Pradesh's new land revenue assessment on its hydroelectric projects, calling it arbitrary and unsustainable. The state government's notification imposes annual revenues totaling hundreds of crores for projects like Pong, BSL, and Bhakra Dam. BBMB argues it's not liable, citing historical land acquisition before Himachal's formation, full compensation paid, and lack of stakeholder consultation, violating natural justice principles.
