Ousted for Narmada’s Omkareshwar Dam, Farmers on Jalsatyagraha in Madhya Pradesh (NDTV)

The jalsatyagrah at Omkareshwar M.P. going on to its 26th day now, with around 24 people in water for 24 hours, under deteriorating health conditions, protesting the proposed raise in the height of the dam and the complete disregard of promised R&R policy by the authorities.

The situation at the Omkareshwar-dam site is very serious as the voices, land and and livelihood of the people are being drowned.

Please send your endorsement to this email address nba.khandwa@gmail.com.
