DesiPundit

Big dams have always invited the wrath of environmentalists and nature lovers.In the name of development, we may soon loose two of the beautiful waterfalls in Kerala. Suryasree asks us to write to the minister of environment in Kerala to save these places.

The project when implemented would also adversely affect 80 families belonging to the Kadar tribe. The bio-diversity of the area would be destroyed for ever. But what if 80 or 800 families are affected? What bio-diversity you’re talking about? What we need is energy to the tune of just 163 MW (experts say the project would generate 26.7 MW only).

Above all the extinction of two beautiful waterfalls, Athirapally and Vazhachal. I don’t think that there isn’t a single one amongst us who would not love retreats to nature; love spending some soothing, rejuvenating days in the lap of nature. Get revitalised and rejuvenated, the natural way.
