Jalandhar, Oct. 28 -- The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has sent eviction notices to 800 houses as it initiated the process to take back the possession of its 65 acres of land in Ambedkar Nagar of Jalandhar. The process to send notices began on Friday as the PSPCL has won a court case pertaining to the land possession, officials said.
