TIL Desk/National/MP/ Protests were held in several parts of Madhya Pradesh, seeking rehabilitation of families affected by the Sardar Sarovar Dam. Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha Patkar, has been standing in waist-deep water of the Narmada in Barwani district for the past three days demanding rehabilitation of 40,000 families.
“We are keeping a close watch on the situation and will intensify our stir in future, if needed, for rehabilitation of SSD oustees,” Ms. Patkar said.
“I have come to know that today people protested in other States of the country for the sake of the oustees. Due to our struggle, the Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan didn’t attend the SSD dedication function of Modi.”
Hours after the dedication function in Gujarat, CPI(M) leader Subhashini Ali led a demonstration here, demanding that the 40,000 families be rehabilitated, the party’s Bhopal district secretary Pushan Bhattacharya said. The CPI(M) staged similar protests in other districts of the State.
