After dam, China plans hotel on B’putra
02 Sep. 2010
NETV Bureau, Guwahati

China, which is rapidly expanding the infrastructure in Tibet with billions of dollars of investments, would soon build a five star hotel at the picturesque Brahmaputra Grand Canyon to make it an international tourist spot. A Chinese tourism company said it would build a five-star hotel near the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon. The announcement came amidst concern over a proposed mega dam, dubbed as the world’s largest hydel project, on the Great Canyon by Beijing. A Chinese tourism company announced Tuesday that it would build a five-star hotel near the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, a renowned scenic spot in Tibet, to enable visitors to better enjoy the dramatic sights. The hotel would be built atop a hill in Paizhen, a small town in Mainling County of east Tibet's Nyingchi Prefecture. Paizhen sits at the entrance of the Grand Canyon, which is a buffer zone and not the core zone. The company announced to take low-carbon and environmental-friendliness into full consideration in the construction and management of the hotel. With a planned cost of more than 14.7 million U.S. dollars, the construction would begin within two years and be built in two phases. After the first phase is completed, the hotel could accommodate 300 guests with 150 rooms. Currently, Paizhen has no star-graded hotel, as the town can only receive about 300 visitors staying in a few small inns. The Brahmaputra Grand Canyon, along with Potala Palace and Mt. Everest, are known as Tibet's three world-class tourist destinations. The Yarlung Zangbo River, which flows through the canyon, is the highest major river in the world. The Grand Canyon, discovered in 1994 in the Himalayas, was formed by a horse-shoe bend in the river where it flows around Mount Namjag Barwa. The Grand Canyon averages 5,000 meters in depth. The average width at the bottom of the canyon is 80-200 meters while the narrowest part is only 74 meters. It is considered the deepest in the world. The announcement came when the various groups in India are expressing concern over a mega hydel project at the Grand Canyon over Brahmaputra River. It is being reported that China is planning to construct a big dam over Brahmaputra at Namcha Barwa. The project, termed as the world's largest dam, with 26 turbines, expected to generate 40 million kilowatts per hour of hydroelectricity. A consortium of five top Chinese power companies is overseeing the 1.138 bn Yuan project. The Brahmaputra River basin in India is most generously gifted with a fabulous water wealth that accounts for nearly 30% of the total water resources and about 40% of the total hydropower potential of the country. For Bangladesh, the River is even more crucial as it provides for fresh water and the annual gift of the fertile silt for farming. Though New expressed its grave concern over reports of the dam, the Chinese government has been dismissing the claims. Union Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh recently said that construction of hydel projects in Arunachal is very much essential for negotiating with China over the Brahmaputra.




Mammoth rally in Gerukamukh
02 Sep. 2010
NETV Bureau, Guwahati

It was a mammoth rally AGP organized at Gerukamukh on Thursday in protest against the Lower Subansiri Hydel power project. From early in the morning over 20,000 people gathered from 9 assembly constituencies covering Lakhimpur and Dhemaji districts. With banners and festoones the protesters gheraoed the project site for several hours. AGP president Chandra Mohan Patowary along with former chief minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, MPs Birendra Prasad Biashya, Kumar Deepak Das lashed out at the Centre for allowing NHPC to continue the construction works defying the expert panel recommendations. Apprehending any untoward incident district administration clamped Sec 144 CrPC and deployed security forces at the project site. Fire tenders and ambulances were put in place. But much to the utter disappointment of the grass root level party workers the top AGP leaders refused to proceed from 200 metres of the main gate. They even meet NHPC officials to submit a memorandum. This was what forced a section of party workers to question the sincerity of the party leaders. A barrage of questions and criticism seem to have put party president Chandra Mohan Patowary at an embarrassing situation. The situation was brought under control at the intervention of a circle of local AGP leaders. What forces the AGP top leaders to take his casual approach in the name of protest? Is it an example of AGP’s lack of sincerity? What message do AGP top leaders want to convey to the protestors who have been opposing the NHPC project for the last several years? This is what remained unanswered for the grass root workers of the party.

Love flower draws Red Dragons to Arunachal

02 Sep. 2010
NETV Bureau, Itanagar

Amidst stray incidents of Chinese intrusion into Indian Territory in Arunachal Pradesh, reports of Chinese soldiers crossing the Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh to gather lucrative rare mushrooms, reputed to have aphrodisiac properties have worried the government. These rare mushrooms, known as Love Flower” are sold at price up to Rs 4 Lakh per KG. Drawn by the powers of the 'Love Flower', Chinese soldiers are said to be sneaking into Indian Territory in Arunachal Pradesh. According to Arunachal Home Minister Tako Dabi, though there has been no incursion by the Chinese into Arunachal Pradesh of late, but there have been instances of sporadic intrusion into the Indian side by People's Liberation Army in small groups. The minister said that these soldiers come, stay there for a while and then go back. When they meet locals or are challenged by security forces, the Chinese military personnel usually say they have entered Indian Territory to collect wild fungus from the mountains. They call it 'Love Flower', which is actually a fungus. The fungus can fetch a huge price in the international market up to Rs 4 lakh per kg. So, what exactly is this 'Love Flower'? True to its name, the fungus is believed to be an aphrodisiac, besides having a host of other medicinal values. It grows on caterpillars in places situated at altitudes of 10,000 ft and above. Apart from China, Tibet and Nepal, it is also found in the Arunachal highlands — mostly in the Tawang range. Due to its peculiar growth, it is often referred to as 'half-insect, half-flower' in Arunachal. It is also known as 'caterpillar mushroom'. In Arunachal, the fungus is called 'yartsi gonpo'. Besides being a potent aphrodisiac, Cordyceps sinensis is traditionally used in Chinese medicine — as a dried herb — for a variety of purposes: enhancing stamina, recovery of speed after fatigue, nourishment of the body and brain and as an antioxidant. According to sources, the price of the herb has skyrocketed in recent times in China. In 1980, 1 kg of Cordyceps used to cost 1,800 yuan. And now, the same amount of Cordyceps can fetch up to 60,000 yuan, or Rs 4 lakh. Though 'flower hunting' intrusions don't necessarily pose a serious strategic threat, the Arunachal Pradesh government is worried at the way China is building strategic infrastructure in its territory, along the border. The issue of incursion remains highly sensitive for both countries which fought a border war in 1962 in which China captured but later returned Tawang district, which it claims is part of Tibet.

PAK PLAYER FROPPED
02 Sep. 2010
NETV Bureau, Guwahati

Three Pakistan cricketers at the centre of illegal betting allegations are innocent, Pakistan's ambassador to Britain said on Thursday after meeting the players. Test captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif were in London to meet Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt and Wajid Shamsul Hasan, Pakistan's ambassador to Britain. Shortly after team manager Yawar Saeed confirmed that the tainted trio of Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir had been dropped from the forthcoming England series, Pakistan High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan came out in their defence, saying that the players were “traumatised” and had voluntarily opted out of the series. Addressing the reporters outside the Pakistan High commission in London, Hasan said that the players “were innocent until proven guilty” and that the High Commission will defend them in the court of law. Hasan said that the players were not dropped from the ODI and T20 series against England. On the contrary, it was due to the “mental torture” they have been going through in the past few days that has refrained them from going ahead with the remainder of the matches.His statement came shortly after team manager Saeed said that the players had been dropped from the T20 and ODI series against England and their replacements will be announced later. He further said that the players will stay in England for the time being and their passports are with the team manager, opposing the common belief that the passports are with Scotland Yard. The players were all named in a News of the World report which alleged they were involved in a "spot-fixing" scam by bowling deliberate no-balls in last week's Test match with England in exchange for cash. The revelations have shocked the cricket world and led to calls from figures within the game that the players involved should be banned for life. On Thursday, Pakistan officials confirmed the trio would play no further part in the team's tour of England.
