The Irrigation and Public Health (IPH) Department and the National Highway wing of the HPPWD are on loggerheads on certain estimates submitted by the latter.

The foundation stone for the Rs 9.22-crore sewerage scheme was laid by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh with much fanfare on January 17, 2004, but even after three years, the scheme is in doldrums.
