the ill fated and unsustainable athirapally hydel dam project is back in limelight. amidst several eia violations and huge protests from local people, this brutal dam is headed to the courts again.

the public interest litigation filed in kerala states what has been known to everybody. abuse of eia, fake eia report, the public hearing has been a farce, the project will destroy the ecology of the area inflicting a fatal death stab at the already abused chalakudy river.

aren't we all familiar with the above. aren't we. all the above are the trade marks of the abusive development process we follow in india in the name of maintaining the 'growth rate'.

damn the ecosystem and damn the people who depend on it. this is development of the 'new india'.
