Union Minister for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Uma Bharti has called for removal of misconceptions about inter-linking of rivers. <br/><br/>Chairing the ninth meeting of the Special Committee for Inter-Linking of Rivers at New Delhi today the Minister said that keeping in view the recent drought in some parts of the country the need for quick implementation of inter-linking of rivers has become more necessary. She said inter-linking of rivers will not affect flow of sweet water in the rivers. <br/><br/>Ms Bharti said we are not stopping the flow of sweet water of the rivers, but will only be transferring the extra water of these rivers which comes during monsoon and floods to those rivers which have less water. This will not affect the flow of water of any river in the country.
