Summary:
The people of the state could not get a firm commitment from Modi on the river dispute. I don't see the Mahanadi tribunal starting work in the next six months. "It is ridiculous to say over 50 per cent of the river flows into the Bay of Bengal. In a sharp attack on Naveen, Modi said that when the Centre took the initiative to resolve the problem, the state developed cold feet. He should know that at least 30 per cent of a river should be allowed to flow into the sea for ecological health," Mishra said..
