Mamata writes to PM regarding DVC discharge of water

Kolkata, Oct 06 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has dashed off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that the Centre should make proper policies for DVC.
In the letter, Ms Banerjee said, '' I am sorry to say that my earlier letter to you has not been responded by the Union Government. The issues that I raised affect millions of lives, and I request that the Union Government should get into some serious actions without any further delay.''
''The crux of the matter is that, yet again on 30 th September,2021, there is uncontrolled and unplanned discharge of water from DVC dams at Panchet and Maithon, which led to unprecedented deluge in many districts of the state. The quantum of release during 30th September, 2021 to 2nd October, 2021, will bring out the scale and enormity of discharge into Damodar and Ajay rivers and the resultant devastation and havoc it brought in its wake,'' she stated.
