Mirage of a river (Cached) 15.5.2013 Down to Earth

Is restoration of the Sabarmati the way to go?

It is claimed to be an exemplary project. It has won two awards for excellence in innovativeness and urban planning; one from the Prime Minister’s Office. Narendra Modi, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, recently hailed it as his big achievement. He pitted the restoration of the river Sabarmati in Ahmedabad against the poor record of the Delhi government in looking after the Yamuna, the capital’s lifeline river. The media has showered praise on the project.

Claims apart, what are the facts on the ground?

Clinton's Republican critics suggest 'dam is about to break' over Benghazi 8.5.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Lindsey Graham steps up pressure on former of secretary of state ahead of Wednesday's hearing into consulate attack Republican critics of Hillary Clinton's handling of the Benghazi consulate attack stepped up their pressure on Tuesday ahead of a congressional hearing on the affair. Lindsey Graham, Republican senator for South Carolina, said the "dam is about to break" on Benghazi and that Clinton, the former secretary of state, would be found to have been "asleep at the wheel".
