Despite Court Order, 19.46% of Ram Sethu destroyed

Despite Court Order, 19.46% of Ram Sethu destroyed 8/3/2007 4:02:47 PM Dr. S.Kalyanaraman
Madras HC order of 19 June, 2007:

"We are not inclined to grant interim relief at this stage, as it would hamper further work in the project. However, we leave it to the Union of India to decide whether the actual cutting of Adams Bridge/Rama Sethu could be postponed till the issues involved in these petitions are considered by this Court."

SC asked GOI to respond to Madras HC orders of 19 June 2007.

Continued dredging in Adam's bridge segment is GOI's response to Court's orders

Dredging continues unabated and as per the destruction status in their website it shows 19.46% dredged till August 2nd

why blame the government? what happenned to the agitation against the sethu. r the protestors believing trhat they can stop it by writing articles in paper and on the net. when will their meetings end and when will they launch a public movment? Its been almost 3 months since the first voice of dissent was heard and still it is not gettign louder. They seem to be only charting the course of protests. VERY SAD.

I agree with Vinod. We should physically stop dredging work from going on.
