Activist Ends 18-Day Fast Over Ken-Betwa Project Displacement Issues

Amit Bhatnagar, an activist, ended his 18-day hunger strike because his mother asked him to stop.

He was protesting about people who had to move from their homes because of a big water project called the Ken-Betwa Link Project.

The project is supposed to bring water to farms and people in a dry area.

The protesters said the government did not give fair money or help to the people who had to move.

The government said they would look into the complaints.

Some people supported the protest by not cooking food.

The activist said his protest was not against any person or party but to protect the rights of the people affected by the project.
