UPDATED STATUS OF PAGLADIYA DAM PROJECT
The project meant for flood moderation to benefit an area of 40000 ha, irrigation
to 54,160 ha and incidental power generation of 3 MW is proposed across
Pagladiya River at Thalkuchi in Baska District which falls under Bodoland
Territorial Autonomous Distinct (BTAD) in Assam. The project envisages
construction of 25m high and 21 km long earth dam with a concrete spillway.
The Government of India had sanctioned the project in January, 2001 at an
estimated cost of Rs. 542.90 crore for construction by Brahmaputra Board.
