State cancels seven hydro projects

The Himachal Pradesh cabinet cancelled seven small hydro projects for failing to get work started on schedule. The projects cancelled are Ghagas (1 MW), Anni-IV (2.50 MW), Najan (1 MW), Suhi (1.50 MW), Chachul (3 MW), Joiner Top-I (5 MW) and Sainj Bhagaru (0.80 MW) project. But, a concession was made for the Chatarkhand (1.5 MW) Hydel Project in district Shimla by restoring the allocation after imposing a small amount of penalty fee for delaying the project.
