Join the struggle to 'Save Narmada, Save Farming'
Save the Narmada, raise your voice!
Farmers, adivasis, workers, cattle grazers, fishermen, boatsmen…
Call for freedom from debt, and fair price for agricultural and natural produce
Topple the mighty, the chance is ripe!
Reach Khalghat on the evening of 29th May...30th May, Pithampur...31st May, at NCA office, Indore. Move through Vijaynagar and Dewas...1st June, Sihore. March on foot from Sihore starts 2nd June, till Bhopal…On 4th June,rally to Neelam Park, Bhopal for the Public Meet from 9am to 11am and the People's Tribunal.
Retired Judges presiding...their verdict is the roar of justice!
The shrinking of the Narmada, pilfering of its resources, attacks on environment and culture and threat of drought, are there for all to see. The struggle continues against the displacement of hundreds of thousands, corruption in the resettlement process, fraud, law breaking and mismanagement. We want full rights of fishermen not just in Sardar Sarovar but Bargi, IndiraSagar, Onkareshwar, and other dams on Narmada and other rivers. Landowning farmers and landless labourers should legally be given more farmland or a way to earn a living. Hydro-electric projects and industries are draining the Narmada, leaving her streams dry and farmers and adivasis hungry. Every pipe-linking project drawing thousands of litres of water each second will cause the death of the river, be it Chutka Nuclear Power Plant, companies and industries, or the plan for the Narmada waters to be diverted to all towns of Malwa district in M.P. With no environmental laws ensured for the downstream of each dam upto Bharuch, how long can Narmada survive?
We ask those who stole crores for the Narmada Seva Yatra- by ruining our Mother, destroying our forests, mining sand illegally, and unleashing huge floods, what did you gain? What did you lose? Neither were liquor shops shifted or prohibited, nor was dumping of waste and drainage into Narmada banned.
The voices that have risen in protest from the Narmada in M.P. are not just those of farmers alone, but also workers, fishermen, boatsmen, artisans and others. Our livelihoods are today facing a grave threat. We want our agriculture, life and livelihood in tune with nature.
We demand 1.5 times the cost price for all of the agri-produce grown with our labour, nature, skills, and expertise. Farmers will only benefit if the price is brought to more than 3500rs/qtl for wheat, at least 2000rs/qtl for maize, 6000rs/qtl for cotton, and correct prices for fruits, vegetables, and hilly millets. Cattle grazers demand 60rs/kg for milk. The adivasis also must benefit from the forest produce. No more will manual labourers and those dependent on natural resources be pushed to suicide. We will have our rightful price, come what may!
We, the farmers, have fallen into debt because of wrongful government policies. The burden should fall not on society, but on the government. Why are we who feed the people and provide milk for their babies dying hungry and thirsty? Why were the farmers of Mandsaur killed and murdered? Why are Andolan workers slapped with false cases?
Against this oppression we will protest: Relieve us of our unfair debt and fix real and just prices.
The 'Narmada Aur Kisani Bachao Jang' march in the memory of the martyrs of Mandsaur, with farmers coming from every district along the river Narmada, from Bharuch, Gujarat; Baroda Narmada and other districts, Badwani, Dhar, Khargone; Jabalpur, Seoni to Mandsaur. Under the banner of various organizations including the Narmada Bachao Andolan, Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sangharsh Samiti and others, we will march with farmers from Mandsaur, Ratlam, Devas, and Ujjain to fight for the passage of two important bills placed before the Parliament.
We must challenge the Madhya Pradesh government to protect agriculture and the environment. Get ready! We must take the struggle for our survival by the horns. Bhavantar as well as Fasal Beema are frauds and could not resolve certain crises!
Come in full strength, come out of your houses. Join us in vehicles as we move from village to village and towns, addressing people on the issue.
The farmers will join us as we march through Madhya Pradesh (from Maharashtra and Gujarat) from 29th May to 4th June! Below is the schedule-
· Meeting and stay on 29th May evening in Khalghat.
