“If a dam on Kosi did not stop floods, this too will be a waste”
Airing scepticism over the inter-linking of rivers serving the desired purpose, social activist Medha Patkar on Sunday charged Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar with embarking on the project in the State without consulting people. “I am apprehensive about inter-linking of rivers serving the desired purpose and if it is so then chronic flood caused by Kosi river should have stopped after construction of dams,” she said at the ninth biennial national conference of the public movements on environmental issues.
