In the early 1960s, when Farakka Barrage was being constructed,
a more radical change was made.
The derailment of New Farakka Express on Wednesday is the second major
rail accident this year.
A number of super thermal stations such as at Singrauli, Korba, Farakka, Ramagundam, Neyveli, etc. have since been commissioned.
The Farakka Barrage Project organisation has been
assigned the work of execution of the following principal components of the Project:.
There were only 13 bridges on the Ganga between Allahabad to Farakka before May 2014,
but additional 20 bridges were planned, of which 5 have been opened and 7 are under construction.
The government said there were only 13 bridges on the Ganga between Allahabad to Farakka before May 2014,
but later additional 20 bridges were planned, of which 5 have been opened to traffic and 7 are under construction.
Instead, the treaty addressed the situation where the flow at Farakka falls below 50,000 cusecs in any ten-day period, and states that
in such a situation,“the two governments will enter into immediate consultations to make adjustments on an emergency basis, in accordance with the principles of equity, fair play and no harm to either party”.
