Former chief minister and senior Congress leader Harish Rawat has reiterated that executing the plan to build elevated roads on the Rispana and Bindal rivers will mean ending the existence of these two rivers. Stating that he is not against elevated roads, the veteran politician said that if elevated roads are built on some of Dehradun city’s main roads, the congestion on major intersections can be lessened. Other solutions can also be worked upon, he said, while also expressing concern at encroachments on ravines in the valley.
Taking to the social media, the former chief minister said, “The ravines which form at the foothills of Mussoorie and continue into Dehradun, and carry water- most of them have been destroyed by illegal constructions.
