Narmada floods: Congress demands SIT probe, higher compensation

Repeating its demand for a probe into recent floods after the sudden release of waters from the Narmada Dam, Gujarat Congress leaders on Thursday met Governor Acharya Devvrat and demanded a “detailed probe” to fix the responsibility on those who suddenly released the water from the dam. 

Calling the flood-like situation in parts of Narmada, Bharuch and Vadodara districts a “man-made calamity”, the opposition party demanded a probe by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to identify and punish those responsible for it. 

A delegation led by State Congress president Shaktisinh Gohil and their legislative party leader in the Assembly, Amit Chavda, on Thursday called on the Governor at the Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar to hand over a memorandum seeking his intervention.
