Supreme Court Rules in Himachal Pradesh's Favor in BBMB Arrears Case
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Himachal Pradesh in the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) arrears case, potentially securing the state up to ₹1,000 crore annually from power dues. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu hailed the verdict as a major achievement and pledged to pursue further claims, including water cess and the Shanan hydel project. BJP leaders acknowledged the victory but emphasized it as the result of collective efforts by successive governments, rejecting exclusive credit claims by the current administration.
