Answer:
In Dharampuri, Kamlesh Thakur is relieved after he learns that he does not have to vacate his house and garment shop. “The government has assured that except 88 houses, rest of the 1,387 houses identi fied for displacement earlier are out of danger,” says Thakur. He is happy because there has been no communication from the government about the Rs 50,000 and a plot of 1,800 sq ft in nearby Devpura village that he had received in compensation. In fact, all the 1,299 families from Dharampuri, who do not figure in the revised list, have received between Rs 40,000 and Rs 70,000 in compensation.
So is this a mistake or a government dole? “It is a classic example of reducing the number of affected families to reduce the overall cost of the project and thus avoid any future litigations by project-affected families,” says Medha Patkar, who has been spearheading NBA since 1990. Or else, why would the government pay compensation to all these families, she says. NBA claims that all the 45,000 families in 192 villages and one town would be affected once the dam runs at its full capacity. Dayaram Nyas of Gandhi Bhawan Trust, Bhopal, says the government just does not know the exact number of project-affected people.
