Rajya Sabha member Brinda Karat, writer Arundhati Roy and national secretary of the CPI, Amarjit Kaur, visited the families displaced by the Narmada dam. The displaced people are on dharna here since a week to protest the decision to raise the height of the dam in Gujarat from 110.64 metres to 121.92 metres. At the end of the 48-hour ultimatum on Friday by the Narmada Bachao Andolan to the Government for action, seven of the villagers have gone on relay fast. Earlier, 70 of the displaced people who held a demonstration outside the Ministry of Social Justice and Employment were arrested, NBA leader Medha Patkar said. They were demanding a meeting with Minister Meira Kumar on how the resettlement and rehabilitation sub-group had recommended raising the height of the dam and why the cash-compensation package of the Madhya Pradesh Government was accepted in violation of the Narmada tribunal award.
