Narayanpur Villagers Protest for Full Village Relocation
People from Narayanpur village are very worried because their village is near a big water reservoir.
When the reservoir is full during the rainy season, they feel unsafe.
The government has said they will move only 40 houses, but the villagers want the whole village to be moved.
They protested by blocking the road to show how serious they are.
The police talked to them, and they agreed to stop the protest for now, but they still want the government to listen to their demand.
Villagers protested demanding the entire village be acquired for the reservoir project.
Protest involved a dharna and rasta roko, disrupting traffic briefly.
Villagers fear for their safety during monsoon when the reservoir is full.
District administration plans to acquire only 40 houses affected by the project.
Protesters submitted a representation to local officials after police intervention.
