NHPC urged to implement decisions

The Dhemaji district unit of the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) has asked the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) authorities to execute the decisions adopted at the December 8, 2006 tripartite meeting held among the AASU, NHPC and the State Government on the Lower Subansiri Hydel Project within March 13. It has also requested the NHPC authorities to keep in abeyance construction of the main dam of the hydel project till the report of the expert committee engaged to study the impacts of the dams becomes available. Otherwise, it has threatened a democratic agitation to mount pressure on the NHPC authorities to comply with this request. The students' body in a letter to the general manager of the NHPC's Lower Subansiri Hydel Project, said that the NHPC had failed to justify the inordinate delay in executing the tripartite meeting's decisions.
