No decision yet on raising Narmada dam height by Gargi Parsai

The Narmada Control Authority (NCA) has taken no decision on raising the height of the Narmada dam that is under construction in Gujarat as the rehabilitation and resettlement sub-group and environmental sub-group are yet to submit their compliance report.

At its 82nd meeting held here on Friday, the NCA, chaired by Water Resources Secretary U.M. Panjiar, asked both the sub-groups to expedite their recommendations on the status of rehabilitation of the project-affected families and on compliance of environment issues.

According to Mr. Panjiar, there was no decision on raising the height of the dam.
