Kokrajhar Locals Protest Land Allotment for Adani Project
Imagine a company wants to build a power plant in a town called Kokrajhar.
The government gave them land, but the people who live there weren't asked.
They are very upset because they think the plant will hurt their farms and homes, and it's against their rights.
They've been protesting for months and even made the officials leave when they tried to mark the land.
They're determined to protect their land.
Locals protested land allotment for the Adani thermal power project in Kokrajhar.
Protesters alleged the BTR government allotted 3,400 bighas of land without consultation.
The protesters claimed the project threatens their livelihoods and violates rights.
Protesters confronted administration and police, forcing them to retreat.
This protest follows three months of demonstrations against the project.
