http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2001/08/20/stories/02200005.htm
NEW DELHI, AUG. 19. The Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Mr. Digvijay Singh,
has agreed for the construction of the controversial dam on the Sardar
Sarovar in the interests of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya
Pradesh.
The Chief Minister gave his assent at the ninth meeting of the Narmada
Control Review Authority, which was held here on Saturday under the
chairmanship of the Union Water Resource Minister, Mr. Arjun Charan Sethi.
The Gujarat Chief Minister, Mr. Keshubhai Patel, also attended the meeting.
A Madhya Pradesh Government release here today said Mr. Digvijay Singh made
it categorically clear that as per the Narmada Nyayadhi Karan Award, the
cost of rehabilitation of those whose agricultural land and buildings have
been submerged, would be borne entirely by the Gujarat Government.
The Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister also emphasised that after the
construction of the dam till the approved height, no humps should be made as
this would lead to further displacement. He said since his Government was
unable to pay its share of the project, the rest of the amount should be
made available by the Union Power Ministry.
