The Tehri Dam Project in the Garhwal Himalayan region has been one of the most controversial projects in recent times.
“Taking note of the unacceptable risk involved, extremely poor status of readiness to deal with hazards, and unprecedented damage in case of a breach or overtopping, the Committee reiterates its considered view that it would be irresponsible to clear the Tehri Dam as currently proposed.”
So said the Environmental Appraisal Committee of the Ministry of Environment and Forests in 1990. Despite this and similar voices of caution, the project authorities and contractors exerted pressure for speedy execution of the project.
The book, which presents the considered views of several experts and journalists who have written about the Tehri Dam project, is a timely reminder of the extreme hazards involved in this gigantic project.
