A case for building dams with caution
The mass movement in northern Assam against the large hydroelectricity projects primarily planned in Arunachal Pradesh saw a brief lull following the intervention of the state government under Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. A group of ministers sat for discussions with the agitating organisations and it helped reduce tension in Lakhimpur and Dhemaji areas of upper Assam where thousands of agitators had taken to the streets, blocking vehicles carrying machinery to the hydro-electric project site in lower Subansiri. http://pressinstitute.in/vidura18.html _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
