LINKING
OF RIVERS
Government of Assam
have raised objections on the flood control aspect, minimum flows
to be maintained in the rivers, environmental issues involved
and power sharing for the proposed dams of Manas-Sankosh-Teesta-Ganga
(MSTG) link project. These observations were considered and replied
by the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) to the State Government.
Subsequently, the pre-feasibility report of the MSTG link was
accepted by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of NWDA on
December 11, 1985 wherein the representative of Government of
Assam was also present.
This information
was given by the Union Minister of State for Water Resources,
Smt. Bijoya Chakravarty in a written reply to a question from
Dr. D. V. G. Shankar Rao in the Lok Sabha today.
