Schumer says Democrats will stop Trump from placing 'right-winger' on the Supreme Court

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu hailed the Supreme Court's recent decision directing Punjab and Haryana to supply 11,973 million units of electricity to the State over 20 years as a historic victory for the people of Himachal Pradesh. The ruling settles a long-standing dispute over the State's 7.19% share in the power generated from the Bhakra-Nangal and Beas hydroelectric projects, and is expected to generate an estimated revenue of ₹10,000 crore to ₹20,000 crore for the State over the 20-year period, depending on electricity prices.

Sukhu attributed the success to the State government's sustained legal battle and determination to secure its financial rights, and said the additional revenue would be used to strengthen education, healthcare, road infrastructure, employment generation, and timely payment of financial benefits to government employees.
