The Punjab government has marked a vigilance probe into the power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed between 2007 and 2017, the decade that the SAD-BJP alliance held power, and has asked the chief vigilance commissioner (CVC) justice Mehtab Singh Gill (retd) to conduct an inquiry and submit the report within four weeks.
The government ordered the inquiry into the PPAs after presenting a white paper and passing a resolution in the special session of the Vidhan Sabha.
Following the government decision, the chief vigilance commissioner sought details from Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) with independent power producers (IPP) for conducting the inquiry into the PPAs.
