Now, desilting process is very simple process, Indian capability is there, there are so many Indian companies, they are engaged in desilting which we have also seen if you go to Bangalore most of the ponds have been desilted, even those good lakes, now it has been recharged and it is doable, it is not so difficult, I think. Now, then the issue was that day when we are discussing the what to do with those you know once we do the dredging the materials which we are taking out from the river, I said the, these are the most fertile soil and it can be, we can use it for many purposes. So, that is not a very big issue, even government can earn some money from that also. So, one is dredging, the second thing is that we can think of constructing some good bunds like if you look at the river Mahanadi”
