Fatehabad, India
The farmers of Gorakhpur village today started an indefinite dharna to protest against the proposed acquisition of their land for a nuclearpower plant in Haryana. The farmers told District Revenue Officer their subsistence depended on their land and they would not sell their land at any cost. They also submitted a memorandum asking the authorities to acquire alternative land for the plant. The affected farmers had held a meeting in the village yesterday and decided to oppose the setting up of the proposed nuclear plant. Some of them even threatened to commit suicide if the government went ahead with its plan to set up the plant.
