हैरानी अब इस बात पर है कि तुम्हें सताने लगी हैं मेरी परेशानियां
काश यह घटना पहले घटी होती
तो मैं कभी परेशान ना होता
आज अब आलम यह है कि

ii
काले बादलों के पीछे जो विशाल नीला आकाश है
वह मेरा है
जरा भी विचलित नहीं हूँ मैं इन काली घटाओं की भीड़ से
बस हवा की एक हलके झोके की प्रतीक्षा है मुझे

Sajal Kumar from Dharmajaigarh in Raigarh district says on 28th February public hearing for environment clearance for coal mines for DB power all the 438 people spoke against giving land to the company. Now most of the farmers who opposed giving land have got a registered thanks giving letter from the company which contains a post card as acknowledgement. It seems it is a ploy and I appeal the farmers to not accept this letter, he says. Sajal can be reached at 09826971978

Vipin Mishra from Raigarh says that land mafia is very active these days in the area. Recently 194 cases came out where they have sold government and community land. In another interesting case 1500 acre of land was bought from villagers saying it will be used for growing herbs for medicines by Baba Ramdev. Now a power plant is coming up on that land. Villagers say they gave land for herbs and do not want a power plant but administration is hellbent to help the industry against people’s wishes by arranging public hearing.
