Shishir Prashant / New Delhi July 09, 2008, 0:18 IST The Uttarakhand government recently put off two major hydel projects, the 480 Mw Pala Maneri project and the 400 Mw Bhaironghati project, buckling under the man's arguments. Meet GD Agrawal, a Gandhian, who the locals initially thought was Sunder Lal Bahuguna. The environmental engineer is giving his all to preserve the environment. Shishir Prashant profiles this man of convictions who has trained some of the country's top environmentalists. When GD Agrawal hit the headlines after he began an indefinite fast at the hill town of Uttarkashi on June 13, protesting against construction of a series of hydel projects, some people mistook him as Sunder Lal Bahuguna. But when news stories began appearing in local dailies and TV channels, it was realised that Agrawal was not Bahuguna. Agrawal came from Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh to hold a protest akin to Bahuguna's. Those who are close to the man say he has left an indelible mark in his own field
