He said that locations for connectivity of all three solar plants with the powergrid are finalised. They would be dedicated to the public soon in the presence of Anil Sharma, Power Minister and Virender Kanwar, Rural Development Minister.

The DC said that 435 KW green power would be harvested once all 234 panchayat bhawans will get equipped with solar power plants. State government received Rs 1.3 crore for the ‘Solar Una’ project in first phase.
