Congress slams PM Modi over Ken-Betwa river linking project, says it poses serious threat to Panna Tiger Reserve

However, thanks to a pioneering tiger reintroduction program initiated 15 years ago, Panna now boasts a population of over 90 tigers, including cubs and sub-adults, while also supporting sustainable tourism-based livelihoods.

The Congress on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for laying the foundation stone of the Ken-Betwa River Linking Project, asserting that it highlights the disparity between his environmental promises and actions, as the project threatens the Panna Tiger Reserve. This project, the first initiative under the national river interlinking policy, was inaugurated in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh.

Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications, remarked, “Today, the Prime Minister is providing further evidence of the gap between his ‘talk’ and ‘walk’ regarding environmental and forest issues. The Ken-Betwa river linking project, for which he is laying the foundation stone today, poses a significant threat to the biodiversity-rich Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh.”

He emphasised the success of Panna’s tiger revival, noting that by early 2009, the area’s tiger population had been entirely eradicated. However, thanks to a pioneering tiger reintroduction program initiated 15 years ago, Panna now boasts a population of over 90 tigers, including cubs and sub-adults, while also supporting sustainable tourism-based livelihoods.

Ramesh highlighted that the project would inundate more than 10% of the core area of the tiger reserve. He warned, “Not only will vital tiger habitats be affected, but those of other species, including vultures, will also be lost. The ecosystem will be fragmented, requiring the felling of over 23 lakh trees. Construction activities will cause significant disturbances.”

Furthermore, he mentioned that plans for three cement factories are underway, with one already established near the park, raising concerns regarding the underlying assumptions about water surplus. “It is unfortunate that there are alternatives for executing the project—such as placing the dam upstream—that would avoid such substantial ecological harm,” the Congress leader stated.

The project will involve the construction of a 77-meter-high, 2.13-kilometer-long Daudhan dam and two tunnels (one measuring 1.9 km and the other 1.1 km) on the Ken River within the Panna Tiger Reserve.
