C'da, This might be of some interest to you. The plan was rejected for no other reason but:
"The plan was, however, rejected, largely owing to lack of co-ordination between various government departments. " --Ram River-link project rejected OUR CORRESPONDENT Jorhat, June 1: A proposal to link Dhansiri river with the Brahmaputra, which the embankment and drainage department now claims to be the only means to arrest erosion permanently along the banks in Bokakhat subdivision, has been rejected by the government. A river-linking plan worth Rs 50 lakh was submitted to the government by the department recently but it was discarded since Rs 1 crore had already been sanctioned for reconstruction of embankment in the area. A major portion of the existing embankment in the Kurubahi area was washed away during floods last year. The government sanctioned Rs 1 crore soon afterwards to rebuild the embankment. Officials from the Bokakhat later concluded that only a river-link would permanently solve the erosion problem. The plan was, however, rejected, largely owing to lack of co-ordination between various government departments. _______________________________________________ Assam mailing list [email protected] http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam Mailing list FAQ: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/assam/assam-faq.html To unsubscribe or change options: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam
