project has been halted several times and remains unfinished.
Complaints have been raised against the project for two major reasons. The first
is over environmental concerns. Apart from this, certain groups have opposed
the project on the basis that it would disturb another feature of the region
significant to them. Due to these particular concerns, the proposed plan was
altered to avoid the particular issue.

a position to sell the idea to zamindars and ruling chiefs. Due to these reasons,
