Historic BBMB Dues Ruling, Says Ex-Himachal CM Dhumal

Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal has hailed a recent ruling on dues owed to the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) as historic. While Dhumal did not elaborate on the specifics of the ruling, his statement suggests a significant development in the long-standing dispute. The BBMB is responsible for managing the Bhakra and Beas dams, which provide hydroelectric power to several states, including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh. The nature of the dues and the parties involved remain unclear.
