On October 19 Governor Shintaro Ishihara, along with the five governors from Chiba, Gunma, Ibaraki, Saitama, and Tochigi, prefectures, visited the planned construction site for the Yamba Dam in Gunma Prefecture, a project dating back 57 years. After exchanging opinions with local resident representatives, the “Joint Declaration by the Six Governors Concerning the Yamba Dam Construction Project” was announced. The declaration calls for Seiji Maehara, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, to retract the policy to halt construction of the dam.
