Villagers start ‘non-violent’ protest against dam project

A tribal network by the name of ‘208’ has begun a non-violent protest on the Gujarat-Maharashtra border against the construction of seven dams as part of the Par-Tapi-Narmada River Linking project under the aegis of the National River Linking Project. 

A spin-off on the 108 emergency ambulance service, the network, which comprises 14 villages from Gujarat and Maharashtra, have started their protest fearing displacement as a result of the construction of the proposed dams.
