Modi To Solve Ganga Hydel Row

Post By Nishita Singh on 15-June-2015

Originating from the Gangotri glacier at Gaumukh in the Indian Himalyans, the river Ganga is considered as the holiest river of the country. Though equally polluted, it is of immense significance for all the Indian.

With the proposal of construction of hydro power plant over it, it has once again become a topic of heated conversation for all the ministries. The idea was proposed by the Power Ministry, which has become controversial since its first day. It is being strongly opposed by the Environment Ministry.

In support with the Water Resource Ministry, the Environment Ministry has cited adverse ecological impact to express its disfavor for the proposal while the Power Ministry says that the venture was important in order to cater the need of power supply to the country.

Environment Ministry along with Uma Bharti- headed water resources ministry agreed that the project would be hazardous in the long run. Supporting its idea, the Power Ministry has proposed to execute the plan with stringent environmental norms, in order to minimize its impact.

The wrangle between the two ministries is going haywire. So, the decision has been left on the PM to solve. Now, it will be quite interesting to see in favor of which Ministry Modi will give his decision. For he took vow to conserve the holy river and provide electricity to 1.2 billion Indians.

I have studied in as many as 10 schools, have friends in almost every corner of the country. Well yes! being a fauji brat is the best thing that has happened to me till date. By default a patriot lives in me. Being carefree, cheerful and chirpy is my style. I’m a highly optimistic person. I am an avid reader. Also, I love to visit new places and try its local delicacies. Writing is for me, one’s reflection to the world and the world’s to them. It’s the best way of expressing and understanding.
