The Task Force on
Interlinking of Rivers (TF-ILR) under the Chairmanship of Shri
Suresh Prabhu met yesterday to review the progress made by different
Working Groups set up to examine specific issues like Legal, Social,
Technical, International Dimensions, Environmental, Institutional
etc. and to decide upon further action.
As a part of the commitment
of the Task Force to ensure transparency on the River linking
as a concept, a website was inaugurated by the veteran journalist
and a Member of the Task Force Prof. B.G.Verghese. The address
of the web-site is www.riverlinks.nic.in.
The Task Force also
expressed appreciation of the financial contributions being offered
by public, suo-moto, for the ILR programme. However, it was decided
to accept these contributions after considering the procedural
aspects as to how such contributions are to be dealt with, in
consultation with concerned Ministries.
