Issuing notices Supreme Court of India today directed the Centre to respond to state of Orissa's plea against environment clearance to Polavaram dam. The dam is being built in Andhra Pradesh over river Godavari and will also submerge areas in Orissa.

Supreme court bench comprising Justices Dalveer Bhandari and Deepak Verma passed the orders giving four weeks time to any other state interested in impleading in the petition.
Orissa had a filed petition in the Supreme Court opposing the Centre’s decision to give an environmental clearance for the Rs. 10,000 crores project being built on Godavari river in Andhra Pradesh.

Orissa has filed the petition before the Supreme Court, demanding cancellation of environmental clearance given to the project by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). Orissa has questioned as to how the clearance was given to the project when the case is pending in Supreme Court.

Advocates Suresh Chandra Tripathi and RS Jena appeared for the state of Orissa.

The following web site provides the proof to the utter false and misleading information being provided by the Central water Commission that the Embankments provide flood protection to Orissa lands likely to be submerged by polavaram Dam back-water impacts which is a lie as can be seen b y the utter failure of Embankments to provide safety to the tamplwe town of Alampur in Andhra pradesh during the floods in krishna river during October,2009 when 26 lakhs Cusecs of flood flow occured at Srisailam Resrvoir which caused back-water flow upto 150 km.upto Kurnool city that was largely drowned by floods.Do not believe that Orissa lands can be saved from floods by Embankment dams for 30km.length along Sabari and also along sileru rivers in Orissa and Chattisgarh.see the full slide show to know the truth
