SC notice to Uttarakhand over halted work on hydel power projects
The court had halted the construction work after the 2013 flood tragedy that left thousands dead in the state.

The Supreme Court issued a notice to the Uttarakhand government on Monday seeking its view on the stay on construction activity on 24 hydro power projects in the state. The notice was issued after considering a plea filed by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).

The court had halted the construction work after the 2013 flood tragedy that left thousands dead in the state.

It's been a year since tragedy struck the state, but the survivors are still struggling to lead a normal life. Meanwhile, CNN-IBN found out that the state is ill prepared for the monsoon. Flood protection work has started late and the quality of construction is low. Important work on border roads has been left untouched.

What's your reaction?
