Greens urge govt. to reconsider plan to set up two more big dams in Wayanad

Priority should be given to rejuvenating water sources in district, they say
Environmental organisations have urged the government to reconsider its plan to construct two more big dams in environmentally fragile regions in Wayanad.
The announcement by Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine that the government was seriously considering constructing two dams across the Thondar and Chundalippuzha rivers in the district was against public interest as people in the areas had already stated that they would conserve their land and water at any cost, said Wayanad Prakruthi Samiti president N. Badusha.
