Coastal highway in Orissa opposed
JANUARY 25: Noted conservationist Vandana Shiva has strongly opposed the proposal of the Orissa government to construct coastal highway as a permanent measure to prevent cyclones hitting the coast. Addressing a seminar on `Orissa super cyclone: Environment and restoration programme', organised jointly by the Orissa Krushak Mahasangh and Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday, Shiva said the proposal to construct coastal highway with World Bank assistance would be disastrous for the people of the state.Copyright © 2000 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
