Blood for land
No land for power plant, no entry to outsiders, say villagers
THIRTY kilometres from Dumka town in Jharkhand is a village where 150 families are resolute about not giving up their land for a proposed power plant. Bloodshed only made their resolve stronger when on December 6, 2008, one villager was killed and 10 injured in a clash with the police. Now, entry to Aamgachhi village is blocked as villagers armed with bows and arrows stand guard along bamboo barricades.
