However, a small environmental organisation, consisting of indigenous and Dalit people, is resisting the project, citing its perilous impact on the climate and violation of land rights of tribals. Read this report by Niladry Sarkar, supported by the Earth Journalism Network, about the group’s struggle in Adivasi hinterlands.
