So, Alpana, Babul has provided ALL the written material of the Oxom Xaagor
scheme. The proposal describes all the benefits the scheme
is expected to generate. The big idea is to block the tributaries from
contributing flood water to the Brahmaputra.
But that is not all!
Major Chandra has also put together an exactly similar scheme to block ALL of
the tributaries to the Ganga in Bihar as well, creating Bihar Sagars.
Note also the one line item:
12. *NO INVOLVEMENT OF *any other state.
I am sure you know why it is such a stand-out bit of info. He knows Assam's
sensitivity about her waters being spirited away.
How can one go wrong, right?
** Think about it, and see if there could be problems with the scheme. And if
so what?
c-da
