Development or Destruction? THIS is with reference to the article by Vidhya Das (June 3). All three partners in this joint venture alumina project are committed to sustaining the environment, controlling pollution and minimising disturbance to the society of which we are about to become members. It was because we felt the need for independent opinion and guidance in these areas that we have closely involved the National Institute of Rural Development, Hyderabad, and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Bombay, in advising us on rehabilitation plans as well as on community development activities.
