Union government on 29 February 2012 gave its approval to the long-pending drainage basin flood control project. The project which involves the Kaliaghai, Kapaleswari and Baghai rivers in the flood-prone East and West Midnapore districts in West Bengal would cost 650.38 crore Rupees to get completed.
Union government would bear 75 per cent of the total project cost while the rest amount would be borne by the West Bengal government.
The project is likely to take three years to get accomplished. The project was formulated by the West Bengal government in 2000. The Ministry of Water Resources had approved the project in January 2010, while the Planning Commission gave the investment clearance in March 2010.
