No control over the natural resources - Water

Water works operated by the government in many cities are being sold to foreign companies
making water their property. In Delhi also water distribution system was being sold to foreign companies who would have charged its citizens money for every drop of water. There was an uproar from the citizens of Delhi after which the scheme to sell the water works has been put on hold. The rivers of the country are being sold. Shivnath  river in Chattisgarh has been sold to a company. Now the people of that region have to pay money for the use of water for irrigation, drinking and even for washing clothes. The indiscriminate use of river water is past history now. 

Dams are being constructed on all major rivers of the country. There are so many dams that are being constructed on Ganges that its existence is threatened. Soon it would become a trickle in the plains of the country. 

We do understand that we need electricity but indiscriminate use of a natural resource raises more problems than it solves. There are certain countries where there are laws to protect unfettered flow of a river. In our country the speed with which contracts have been awarded to private companies to build Dams over river, it seems the political leaders are more interested in the kickbacks that they get from such contracts rather than produce electricity. The pace of such construction would seriously affect the flow of water in the plains of the country. 

By the examples given above it is clear that natural resources of the country are at peril under the political parties, corrupt leaders and the government servants. Something will have to be done quickly failing which entire country would be sold out.
