Goan govt., environmentalists start campaign against clearance for Kalasa-Banduri project

The Hindu  

Environment action groups in Goa have started a letter writing campaign against the Mahadayi river water project, while the government of Goa has opposed the Union government’s approval to the revised Detailed Project Report. This comes days after the Centre accepted the DPR for implementation of the decades-old Kalasa-Banduri drinking water project in the inter-State Mahadayi river basin. Activists including Amrit Dias, Prakash Singh and Savio D’Souza are planning to write letters to the President of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop this project. Mr. Dias said that the Union government’s approval was conditional and the letter from New Delhi should not be taken as a green signal to Karnataka government to start work on the project.
