why isn't the government considering the inter-linking of rivers? water would be available to most parts of india. i don't think its an important financial decision to make as it will bring tremendous long term gains (it's a win-win situation).
millions get displaced and millions of rupees get drained away.. way can't the government consider this option? it will create huge employment opportunities, improve agricultural produce, control climatic change, help humanity, trade and commerce, to name a few.
this can only happen if "government" focuses more on the country than being selfish and greedy. but of course, they will also get black money by approving this project.
indian problems are becoming more and more complex and that has to be taken care of immediately.

I agree with this opinion. If government approves such plan, everyone will get benifit.
It is really tragic that we in India always have "situation" accompanying and aggravating floods. All news headlines say "Flood Situation", not just plain Floods, which are bad enough.

We should be grateful to Rediff for having let us know about what BBC and CNN and other intl media have been telling about for past 3 day. Come on guys they have found time to report this inspite of having to monitor what Sanjay Dutt had for breakfast, what books he is reading, what brand toilet paper he is using etc. I truly appreciate their diligent and timely reporting.
