2 Narmada project-hit villagers climb telecom tower to press for demands; climb down after 6 hours, assurances

The administration in Narmada district was on its toes for over six hours on Friday after a man and a woman from two villages affected by the Narmada project climbed up a telecom tower in Kevadia colony to press for their demands raised in the 2016 protests.

The duo agreed to descend the tower only after Sardar Sarovar Punarvasahat Agency (SSPA) officials assured them that their demands would be forwarded to the government, sending out an urgent letter to reassure them.
