Guwahati: The opposition leader Debabrata Saikia has demanded a special session of Assembly Assam to discuss the impact of 2,000 MW Hydel Hydel Project which was lower in the midst of a gloomy flood situation in the state.
Women’s security, after the death of Nandita Saikia, a student contributed from Moridhal College in Dhemuji, in a machete attack, also in her agenda.
Saikia said three districts in North Assam were on the verge of destruction due to government errors.
“Now, water flows on a 115-meter dam on a lower Hydro project, poses a big threat to Dhemeji District, Lakhimpur and Majuli.
The committee of an expert has warned to build a dam at the current location in 2010 because the hills consist of land Soft and pose a big threat to the Hilir Assam area located in the earthquake area, “he said.
Saikia regretted that the government did not heed the warning and the government led by BJP currently completed 75 percent of work, ignoring protests by individuals and organizations in the state.
When the mass movement gained a momentum on the lower substate project, a large dam, during the Tarun Gogoi reign in 2010, a committee was formed and was assigned to submit a report on the destructive effects of the project in the Brahmaputra and other rivers.
“The Committee has recommended joining the CD Thate and Reddy committee, with observations that the Big Dam should not be built on the proposed site.
However, the Sarbananda Sonowal government signed a Pact with NHPC in 2019 without applying the 2014 Bipartit Agreement recommendations, which contradicted Assam and led to less electricity for the country, “said Saikia.
Protests have been continued in Assam District for Dhemaji and Lakhimpur where nearly 100 villages (in Lakhimpur Regency) have been flooded by floods caused by the Subansiri River.
In the salvation of women, he accused that women in the state did not feel safe during the BJP government government.
“A female student in Dhemaji was attacked with a machete, which led to his death, in the daytime.
Crime against women has increased exponentially in the past five years,” he said.
