Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti said Thursday the nod to raise the height of the Narmada dam was given after consulting the social welfare ministry and the displacement caused will be taken care of.
The height of the Sardar Sarovar Dam on river Narmada in Gujarat will be raised by 17 metres after the green signal at a meeting of the Narmada Control Authority (NCA) Thursday.
Activists have said raising the dam's height will displace an additional 2.5 lakh people.
