What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria approved changes allowing residents of Chandigarh Housing Board houses to install rooftop solar photovoltaic systems without needing a prior approval or no-objection certificate from the board. These installations must comply with the guidelines of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and must be carried out through Crest. The order, issued by H Rajesh Prasad, Chairman of the Chandigarh Housing Board, takes effect immediately.
