Sudip Bandyopadhyay speaks on the immediate need for reforms in DVC
FULL TRANSCRIPT
This (Zero Hour Mention) is in connection with the flood situation in Bengal.
Madam, 2.5 lakh cusecs of water have been released by Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) without any intimation to the State Government. It has led to a flood situation in several districts of Bengal, which Saugata Roy has already mentioned.
Madam, dredging is very important. Without dredging, water reservoirs cannot hold water at an appropriate level.
So, I would like to urge that the DVC should take decisions in consultation with the State Government. Adequate steps must also be taken so that dredging can be properly done and a permanent solution can be sought for the flood situation.
