New Delhi (PTI): Hit hard by the flip flop over the 'Rama Setu' controversy, the Centre in its fresh affidavit before the Supreme Court has put more emphasis to counter the environmental concern for pushing the Sethusamudram project.
The project has not only been opposed on grounds of religious sentiments attached to Rama Setu or Adams Bridge but concerns have been raised about the fragile ecosystem of Gulf of Mannar and susceptibility of the region to disaster in case of a Tsunami.
Allaying these fears, the Centre said Committee of eminent persons appointed by the Centre on October 5, 2007 looked into the apprehensions and after considering various reports, declared them as "unfounded".
