BJD Calls for Halt to Polavaram Project Over Tribal Concerns

BJD Calls for Halt to Polavaram Project Over Tribal Concerns

The BJD, a political party, wants the government to pause the Polavaram project because it could hurt tribal people in a nearby district.

They say the project will cause problems, including flooding, displacement and ecological damage, but they haven't been listened to by the government.

They have spoken to ministers and other officials, but they feel like nothing is being done.

The BJD also mentioned the Supreme Court which had said that everyone should be consulted before proceeding, and the BJD does not feel like that's happening.

They have asked for things like new studies to see what is really happening.
