hey \: dear \: here \: is \: your \: answer

⭐⭐<==================>⭐⭐

⏩ ᴄᴀᴜsᴇs : Bolivia is a poor Latin American country. Under the pressure of the World Bank, the Bolivian government sold the rights of municipal water supply for the city of Cochabamba to a multi-national company. The company increased the rates of water by four times leading to more expenditure by the people. The monthly water bill increased upto ₹ 1,000 whereas the average income was around ₹ 5,000. This led to a spontaneous protest.

⏩ ᴀᴄᴛɪᴠɪᴛɪᴇs : In January 2000, an alliance of labour, human rights and community leaders organised a successful four-day strike. The government agreed to negotiate and the strike was called off. However, nothing happened and the agitation was started again in February, 2000. During agitation police adopted a policy of brutal repression. Martial law was imposed but ultimately people were successful in their struggle.

⏩ʀᴇsᴜʟᴛs : The contract with the MNC was cancelled and water supply was restored to the municipality at the old rates. This struggle is known as Bolivia’s water war. It shows that people’s struggle and determination can force the government to change their policy in their interests and that struggles are an integral part of the working of democracy.
