NewsX@9: Villagers protest as state ignores SC directive on rehabilitation
  • 5 years ago
NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. In Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa area, 51 people stayed immersed in water for the 14th day today in what's being called a 'jal satyagraha'. The protesters are demanding compensation and rehabilitation for villagers whose homes will be submerged under water after the state government's order of opening all the gates of the Omkareshwar dam in Madhya Pradesh. With Narmada flowing above the danger levels, the government has little choice. So we debate today - Are central and state governments cheating dalits and tribals of their land, in the name of development? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX debate special show NewsX@9.
