Tipaimukh and experts
Quite a lot has been said about the Tipaimukh dam in India, waiting to be, perhaps, commissioned soon!
Briefly and pertinently said, it is absolutely for the river water experts/engineers and the related professionals who are to assess the situation, and gauge the outcome of the proposed dam. Then a purely technical report is to be submitted to the political governments of both the countries to 'weigh' the pros and the cons in order to decide its feasibility and the possible fallout.
It is expected that based on the above the decision will be made. But not by parliament members who are 'non-technical' VIPs.
Therefore, if any minister speaks in favour of a dam it is not well accepted in today's world. So, let the real experts do the talking and assessment, etc. This is my appeal to all concerned.
