CHANDIGARH: Punjab government on Sunday secured a commitment from its Himachal Pradesh counterpart to supply 250 MWs of power to the state during summer.
Though agreeing initially to supply electricity to Punjab from July to September 2008, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal responded positively to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal's request to start it from the month of June itself to facilitate paddy sowing operations in the state.
The two states have also decided to jointly urge the Centre to grant special category status to the Shahnehar project and lend the mandatory 90 per cent Central assistance under the scheme.
