Land minister Ohata visits contentious dam project site

NAGANOHARA, Japan - Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Minister Akihiro Ohata (3rd from L) receives explanations about a dam construction project in the town of Naganohara, Gunma Prefecture, on Feb. 13, 2011. Yamba Dam, located north of Tokyo, has been decades in the making, but the Democratic Party of Japan-led government may call off the project as it has been at the center of its drive to scrap dozens of public works projects considered wasteful.
