NOTE: New York-based Ogden Corp. still intends to take a 49% equity
stake in the Maheshwar Dam. Ogden has given assurances that human
rights and environmental  considerations will not be disregarded by
the company, and that they are committed to pursuing a democratic,
transparent process in their involvement in the project. Yet despite
the massive local opposition and a German government report
concluding that just resettlement is impossible, Ogden remains
involved in the project. Ogden was to have sent a sociologist (Dr
Brad Parlin from the University of Utah) to the project area in early
August to assess the resettlement situation but cancelled his trip at
the last moment.
