Medha Patkar: The Narmada Bachao Andolan leader, Ms. Medha Patkar, has criticised the "last-moment" decision of the Central Government to stop the visit of the World Commission on Dams. The commission was scheduled to have a meeting in New Delhi on September 19 and 20, which was to be followed up with a two-day public hearing at the South Asia level on dams and related water and power issues in Bhopal.
