An alarmed doctor's video report on dam construction in Himachal and associated problems
Dr Surya Prakash Boras is fighting a case in Himachal Pradesh High Court against illegal dumping by Karcham-wangtoo dam builders in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. He got alarmed by the number of TB patients he receives from around the construction area. Tribals of kinnaur have been up in arms against 34 proposed projects in the district. If one dam project on the Sutlej can lead to felling down of thousands of trees and water channels being used to dump the project debris, what will happen if all projects get constructed, Dr Surya asks.

To stop this nonsense of JP company and the Himachal Goverment the people will have to start a movement like the one started by Anna Hazare. This type of illegal activities are going on in all the project areas and the government is doing absolutely nothing to stop this.

Kudos to the doctor for his noble campaign. This story should be publicized so that more help could pour for the doctor.
