The deadlock between the Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir governments over the Shahpur Kandi project continues as the secretary-level talks held early today failed.
Though Punjab hopes that “doubts” of the J&K Government will be clarified during the chief secretary-level talks to be held later, construction work at the site remains suspended. A team of Punjab officials, led by Irrigation Secretary Kahan Singh Pannu and Chief Engineer Harinder Singh, returned from the site today with the J&K Government refusing to budge.
