The virtual launch of the initiative was led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal. In a related development, Mohali has been designated as the east zone headquarters for the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL). A new chief engineer has been appointed to oversee operations from Nangal to Lalru, ensuring better supervision and faster project completion.
