Link rivers in 10 years: SC

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the centre to consider linking all major rivers within 10 years-instead of the proposed 41 years—at a huge expenditure of Rs 560,000 crore at today's prices. While the Centre said it proposed to complete the linking job by 2043, the court said it should accomplish the plan by 2012 to effectively control flood and drought situations. A Bench comprising Chief Justice B N Kirpal, Justice Y K Sabharwal and Justice Arijit Pasayat said that a task force would work out the modalities for creating the National River Network (NRN). Attorney general Soli J Sorabjee said that the President and the Prime Minister both have given their personal attention to the issue and were in favour of the same being worked out at an early date. The Centre in its affidavit said that it woud be able to link the peninsular rivers by the year 2035 and the Himalayan rivers by the year 2043. However, the Bench said that the proposal was being considered for last two decades without anything happening and it would be in the interest of all that the task was completed in the next 10 years. The Bench asked Sorabjee to give the Centre's response to the court on December 16, the next date of hearing on the issue which was taken up suo moto by the court.
