The Himachal Pradesh High Court has quashed the transfer of Sr. Project Officer Ramesh Kumar Thakur of HIMURJA from Kangra at Dharamshala to Chamba, holding that the move was made on the recommendation of a private contractor with no role in the department's affairs.
Solar projects upto 150 MW capacity would be installed by HIMURJA through private participation and priority would be given to Himachalis in awarding these projects, whose capacity will be from 250 KW to 1 MW, said the Chief Minister.
