After spending ₹13 crore on a waterworks project, the Centre-funded development project initiated by Abohar municipal corporation (MC) has hit a roadblock as the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has refused to grant power connection until its dues were cleared.
According to the information, the local body of Fazilka district has an outstanding bill of about ₹40 crore towards the state power agency PSPCL.
The construction work is being done by the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme of the Union government.
