The estimated cost of Canal is around Rs. 2250 crore and Annual profit is around 80 crore. To recover the principle itself would take around 25 long years, and if the Interest, Inflation and Investment options are considered, then it would be no less thatn 50 to 70 years to recover what is being invested. What the logic in forcing a Canal over the faith of billions of people? Will India die of hunger is the bridge is not built? Why this begger like behavior?
