Polavaram Dam (EDM664)

Polavaram Dam

EDM number 664 in 2008-09, proposed by Timothy Farron on 03/02/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Electricity and Water.

That this House notes with concern the displacement of over 200,000 people from the largely tribal communities and marginalised castes in Andhra Pradesh, southern India as a result of the proposed construction of the Indira Sagar Polavaram Dam; further notes with concern that if built the dam will submerge an area equivalent to the size of the Isle of Wight at 147 square miles; expresses concern that the environmental and social damage this will cause and the impact this will have on forests, wildlife sanctuaries and fertile agricultural land; and calls for the proposals to build the Polavaram Dam to be reconsidered with immediate effect.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
