The Narmada Bachao Andolan demands that The State desist from the inhuman and illegal action of raising the water level beyond 260 M, without acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement. Provision of land for land with a minimum of 2 ha. of land to farmers, and a grant of Rs. 2.5 lakhs to the landless families. Acquisition and payment of compensation for approx. 2500 houses left out after surveys and valuation. Acquisition and payment of compensation for approx. 3500 houses, of persons whose lands have been acquired but not houses. Creation of immediate access for lands and houses rendered into islands. Surveys of 41 affected villages, and acquisition, compensation and R&R, as per impact. In the face of this enormous repression, indifference and callousness by the State, the oustees have no option but to resist this repression, and to do or die. Hundreds of oustees will therefore enter the waters on the 1st of September 2013, believing that the truth of their voices cannot be defeated, and that in a democracy, no power can submerge lakhs of people without their prior rehabilitation and resettlement.
