Environmentalists and social activists led by G D Aggarwal are headed for Delhi to continue with their campaign against construction of power projects between Gangotri and Uttarkashi. After the Uttarakhand Government decided to halt work on the Pala Maneri and Bhiron Ghati projects, the campaigners are now targeting the 600-mw Lohari Nagpala project being executed by the National Thermal Power Corporation. Aggarwal's fast unto death entered its 10th day on Sunday when he left the Manikarnika ghats of Uttarkashi to shift base to Delhi. His departure was preceded by a large scale demonstration on Saturday by some locals angered by the state Government's decision to stall work on the two projects. The locals shouted slogans against Aggarwal and his supporters asking them to hold their Save Ganga campaign in the plains where the river was most polluted. Locals believe stalling work on the two projects will threaten their livelihood as a large number of them were directly or indirectly employed there. Social activist Pavitra Singh claimed the protests were fuelled by contractors who had invested in the projects. Aggarwal, while on way to Delhi, said that the locals were misled by the materialistic forces present in the area. Earlier, at the start of the agitation, Uttarakhand Chief Minister B C Khanduri had also tried to deflect the matter to the Centre saying his Government was willing to stall the projects if the Centre agreed to compensate for the energy loss incurred by the state. The environmentalists are demanding that no projects be made between Gangotri and Uttarkashi and the river be allowed to flow freely on this 125-km stretch.
