India: Alleged expert climatologist Pachauri appears as "environmentalist" Pachauri

More worries were in store for the UPA-government as it once again failed this year to push the Sethusamudram shipping canal project through the controversial alignment of the Ram Setu.

The Centre -- which last year was forced to withdraw two controversial affidavits questioning the existence of Lord Rama [Images], the Ramayana [Images] and Adam's Bridge or the Ram Setu as a man-made bridge -- filed a comprehensive affidavit in February in support of the project, but was not able to secure a green signal as the apex court asked the Prime Minister's Office to look the matter afresh for alternative alignment.

The verdict has been reserved as the apex court awaits the report of the expert committee, headed by environmentalist R K Pachauri, which has been asked to examine the feasibility of alternative alignment for carrying out the project which the Tamil Nadu government is pressuring the government to take forward.
