The presence of a high tension (HT) power line has impeded the work of constructing a new hospital building on the Kather bypass in Solan.
Additional expenditure of several lakh rupees is being incurred on shifting the power cables. The presence of private land is also acting as an added obstruction.
The landowner has expressed reservations over the power line passing through his land. This has created a dicey situation for the administration that was keen on completing the first phase of the building within the stipulated time period. Though the requisite amount was deposited with the Power Department for shifting the HT line months ago, this has emerged as a new challenge.
