Millions displaced during partitions. Thousands displaced from Kashmir. Who cares?
Few hundreds are being displaced to new proper homes and lands for good reasons like Solving Drinking water problem of three states, Re Charging Ground water level, Saving Millions of Farmers from draught, having proper electricity to boost new developments. Politicians and Megha Patkar cares.
Narmada bachao andolan is very well heard struggle but i am very inquisitive to know that after all what is the primary core of the problem is? Is it environmental concerns or rehabilitation of people of affected areas,well this all should not be discussed at this advanced stage now the dam is already above the nascent age,i think the struggle is important from the ecological point of view but now at this stage our concern should be towards the sustainable development with the prime concern for the people who are directly or indirectly affected with this project. priority of every right is theirs who have faced this dearth of facilities or resources. and its the case with evry rehabilitation project whether its Narmada or Tehri Dam.
