Tribute to an environmental stalwart of Uttarakhand May 25, 2021, 2:37 PM IST
Ashish Garg is a Doon-based environmentalist
I had the privilege of meeting Sunderlal Bahuguna ji twice. The first meeting was in the early 1990s when he was sitting on fast at the Tehri dam site for almost two months. Having graduated as a civil engineer, I was a bit skeptical about his demand of stopping construction of a dam at Old Tehri which was being promulgated as beneficial in terms of electricity generation, enhanced irrigation, employment and overall prosperity of Uttarakhand.
On my request of his specific views on why he was opposing the project, his detailed reply was indeed an eye-opener for me and opened up a new dimension on the issue of construction of small dams instead of huge dams which was now become an area of further research. He was quite convinced about the concept of small dams and emphatic that big dams may turn out to be more of a liab
