: The Tamil Nadu government Friday expressed concern over the dam safety bill introduced in Parliament by the Centre and demanded its withdrawal, saying it's earlier concerns had not been addressed by the Centre.
Chief Minister K Palaniswami wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recalling his previous communication in June, calling for consultation and consensus on the proposed legislation.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly had also adopted a resolution demanding that the Dam Safety Bill, 2018, be kept in abeyance till a consensus was arrived at with all states, he said.
Tamil Nadu's "serious concerns" have not at all been addressed by the union Government, he said, adding that the Bill has now been introduced in the Lok Sabha "without considering the views/comments of the state governments."
