Shimla, Sep 10 (Reporter) The Himachal Pradesh Assembly witnessed a heated debate on Tuesday as Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri refuted allegations levelled against Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu for allegedly influencing a land acquisition process for an Irrigation and Public Health (IPH) project in Nadaun.
