Subject: [initiative-india] NBA issues legal notice to MoEF in Narmada Canals issue
To:




Dear all,

Please find attached herewith the Legal Notice issued by the Narmada Bachao Andolan to the Ministry of Environment and Forests on the issue of continued land acquisition and excavation for the large canals of Indira Sagar and Omkareshwar, which is causing an irreversible damage to the best of agricultural land in the region.

Despite the MoEF-appointed Expert Committee having given its categorical recommendation and Report that the canal work should not continue, since there are no final and approved command area development plans for the two projects, the MoEF has not yet taken a decision on same. This is also in spite being directed by the Supreme Court to do so within 10 weeks from 25th February, 2010.

Also attached is the Order of the Supreme Court that clearly stipulated a maximum period of 10 weeks within which MoEF had to take a decision on the command area plans of the Govt. of Madhya Pradesh.

In this context, we appeal to you to write to the Ministry to take a logical and scientific decision, within the framework of law to sop the work, at least until the full command area plans are ready and approved and until comprehensive rehabilitation plans for all the affected families are in place. The Ministry must also take a decision on the issue of excluding the river-bank villages from the canal network to minimize displacement and save the best of land.

The recomendation by the Independent People's Tribunal headed by Retd. Justice A.P. Shah, whose Report was released at Bhopal todsy is also that there can be no further work until the GoMP satisfies the Expert Commitee and central authorities of the environemntal and rehabilitation - related preparedness, with full data and complete, approved plans.

With regards

NBA team
