One is at Ghatbarra village in Udaipur of Surguja where administration did fraud in passing a false Gram Sabha resolution in favor of Adani company who wants to open a coal mine there and people are protesting.

My name is Chitra Kumari. I am calling from Bagmara block of Dhanbad district in Jharkhand. Damodar river flows next to my village but the river is in bad shape thanks to coal mines in the area. Many of them throw their waste direct in the river. Thousands of villages and lakhs of people depend of the river. I request the Govt to stop this murder of the river and force coal mines to level the open cast mines and give people their land back. For more Chitra Ji can be reached at 09570081278

My name is Aparna Marandi. I am calling from Ranchi in Jharkhand to tell you about a day long dharna in front of Rajbhavan. The dharna was led by many social activist leaders and they demanded that foreign direct investment in retail should be withdrawn, all the coal block allocations in Jharkhand be cancelled and govt should not displace people without their wish. They also demanded the released of public artist Jeetan Marandi and anti displacement activist Lakhiram Rai. For more Aparna Ji can be reached at 09771949885

My name is Bhagirath Verma. I am calling from Raipur in Chhattisgarh. I support the breaking of Coal law in Gare village in Raigarh. I request all adivasis to do similar act in their villages and take control of the minerals beneath their lands. I have heard that administration is planning to put a case of illegal mining on the villager of Gare. I protest this. The villagers of Gare are following the path of Gandhi and that is the correct path. For more Verma Ji can be reached at 09039142049

My name is Rajesh Tripathi. I am calling from a rally in Dharmajaigarh in Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh.
