Bhopal: The Bhopal Smart City Development Corporation Limited (BSCDCL) and Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) are making different claims with regard to operation of solar power projects along Upper Lake. While the BSCDCL claimed that trial-run of solar powered water pumping at Karbala pumping station has commenced, the claim was dismissed by civic officials working at the plant.
The state government has mooted a proposal on ‘Right to Water’. Energy efficiency is a major component of the ambitious plan.
