Description

Description

The historic Shanan Power House at Jogindernagar, Himachal Pradesh, is a 110-megawatt facility built under a 99-year lease agreement in 1932. The project has seen no significant investment from the Punjab Government for years, leading to crumbling infrastructure, abandoned quarters, rusting machinery, and deteriorating roads. The lease has expired, and ownership is disputed between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, with the matter pending before the Supreme Court. Maintenance and repairs have been indefinitely suspended, and much of the infrastructure is in a state of ruin.
