Urban Naxals had stalled work of Sardar Sarovar dam for years claiming it is bad for environment: Modi

Ahmedabad, September 23

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday alleged that “urban Naxals and anti-development elements” with political backing had stalled the construction of the Sardar Sarovar dam on the Narmada river in Gujarat for many years by running a campaign that it would harm the environment.

Such “urban Naxals” are still active and getting support from various institutions to stall development projects in the name of environment protection, Modi said while urging environment ministers from different states to ensure that projects aimed at bringing ‘ease of doing business’ or ‘ease of life’ did not get stalled unnecessarily.
