Unsettling dispute
One fails to understand the lack of constructive approach of the Gujarat Government and Narmada Bachao Andolan leader (NBA) Medha Patkar towards proper settlement of people displaced due to the construction of the Sardar Sarovar dam.
As a result of delay in the completion due to protest by oustees, the costs have escalated. In addition, the benefits to be accrued from the dam have been delayed. The
benefits could have far outstripped the amount spent on the welfare of all the displaced people. Unfortunately, this has not happened so far.
