Solidarity with Narmada Bacchao Andolan
The near to 30 years of struggle of NBA, is a case of perseverance of the struggling people in the Narmada Valley. Spear headed by social activist Medha Patkar, who has undertaken a detailed study of the policies and plans of the government which is detrimental to the survival of the people in the valley.
The stories of submergence and the loss of lives, livelihood, education and normal living lies under threat. The people mainly tribals have stood the test of time. They remain unmoved. Since the administration and the Government have been casual to the plight of the people. Medha ji took to an indefinite fast. Unable to be physically present we stood in solidarity with the people, drawing the attention of civil society and governments to intervene. We demand immediate stopping of the level of the dam wall being raised. We know it’s a long struggle, but we stand with the people whose very existence is at stake.
