Prohibitory
orders under Section 144 CrPC have been clamped in the construction site of the
Lower Suktel Irrigation Project with the construction work continuing.
Meanwhile, villagers of
Pardhiapali and Koindapali continued their dharna at Pardhiapali demanding
compensation to them in accordance with the land acquisition policy of 2013 as
they have lost their lands for the project.
Members of the Budi
Anchal Sangram Parishad also staged a dharna at Pardhiapali opposing the
construction of the proposed dam. Meanwhile, the more than 160 project
opponents who were arrested a couple of days ago were released on PR bond on
Tuesday.
While the supporters of the
project are demanding payment of compensation as per the land acquisition law
of 2013, the anti-project villagers have been opposing it from the beginning
saying that they are in favour of zero displacement and against big dams.
