Supreme Court Upholds Himachal Pradesh's Share in BBMB Electricity Dispute
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Himachal Pradesh in the long-standing BBMB arrears case, affirming the state's 7.19% share in electricity from Bhakra-Nangal and Beas projects. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu hailed the verdict as a major victory, attributing it to his government's efforts, while opposition leaders like Jai Ram Thakur emphasized the decades-long legal struggle involving multiple administrations. The ruling is expected to generate significant revenue for Himachal Pradesh, strengthening its finances and development prospects. The state now focuses on resolving ownership of the Shanan Hydroelectric Power House amid ongoing disputes with Punjab.
