The entire equipment costs Rs 1.65 lakhs. “It has been tested by Khanaur Deputy Commissioner in Sangrur District and they have also sent a proposal for getting the equipment. All the dead bodies which are fished out from Bhakra are done at Khanaur. So, it is best if one such equipment is there”, Bhathal said.
