Medha Patkar is only showing one side

I dont agree with many of you. Sorry to say that but sincerely all the figures given by Ms. Medha Patkar and her team are more or less fictious. She comes with lot of figures differing everyday and sincerely fooling people. The dam oustees are given good consideration, they have created landlords out of nothing. A meagre farmer whose submerged land would have given him 70,000 was compensated to the tune of Rs 40 lacs. And this is just a single case good and better land with all modern amenities are provided to them. In fact on visiting lot of resettled villages the NBA doesnt find support for continuously misguiding them. All the quotes are from national dailies like Times Of India and Indian Express. So do not please get fooled by her she has got support from some foreign vested interest. Which could be exposed and truth behind her would be availabe to the world. At the same time stopping dam construction would make the whole effort till now waste and wont give any solution towards the problems for which the whole effort was made. Water would never reach parched lands of Kutchh and Rajasthan if height is not increased. At the same time energy needs wont see thru.
