BANGALORE: The Geological Society of India will come up with a white paper to clear the air on Ram Setu. Earlier, the government cited scriptures while the supreme court favoured exploration of a scientifically and “politically” viable solution to the controversy.
Speaking on the sidelines of the golden jubilee celebrations of the society in Bangalore on Sunday, society president Harsh Gupta said the report will cover all aspects of the bridge, its pros and cons, the science behind it and many sensitive issues. “Many interesting questions like did the stones float in water will also be answered. All such queries will be posted on the society’s website in three months. People would be able to post their comments for five months, after which, a final version of the report will be prepared and released,” he said. The society’s centres across India will participate in the study.
Gupta added the department was also preparing a report on linking rivers in India to meet water scarcity.
