Fate of Solan transport project hangs in balance

The fate of the much-hyped transport nagar project in Solan is uncertain as the state government has not been able to execute it due to a lack of funds and technical expertise.

While replying to a question asked by local MLA DR Shandil during the Assembly session recently, the government had expressed its helplessness in executing the project planned to rehabilitate 70 to 80 motor mechanics, who were displaced after their shops were acquired for the widening of the Parwanoo-Solan section of the National Highway No. 5.
