But non-governmental organisations (NGOs) opposing the project are sceptical. "The state government favours private investment in the water sector, so there is no reason to expect much from the enquiry," says Gautam Bandopadhyay of the Nadi Ghati Sangharsh Morcha, which runs people's campaigns in 10 river basins in the region.
