In a bid to strengthen connectivity of the state’s industrial hub of Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) with the neighbouring states, an inter-state meeting was held by Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena with his counterparts of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh yesterday.
Saxena deliberated upon various significant issues with Haryana Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal and Punjab Chief Secretary Anurag Verma.
An agreement to share 50 per cent of the cost of repairing the Dhabota bridge connecting Nalagarh with Punjab was arrived at between the officials of the two states. Earlier Himachal had borne 15 per cent of the cost and the remaining 85 per cent had been borne by Punjab to construct the bridge.
