India's river-link plan
In order to create public awareness on the above subject, the DS should publish a half-page map of the subcontinent showing the relief and detailed drainage system, preferably on the front page. Such a map would speak volumes and make clear India's absurd venture to reverse nature which is bound to bring disaster to the nation itself besides the consequential catastrophe to Bangladesh and other neighbouring countries. And what if China diverts the headwaters of theBrahmaputraemulating India! And other nations in parallel positions would do the same! Humanity will be in danger almost everywhere.
So the issue is not simply regional, it is global. Conscious people and activists around the world must unite and come forward to resist the ominous plan invoking the world charter for nature.
