URGENT ACTION ALERT        URGENT  ACTION ALERT

2,000 STRONG POLICE FORCE IN COASTAL VILLAGES OF SRIKAKULAM
Condemn 'Development' with Force: Write to authorities to protect livelihoods

 13th July, 2010: The Government of Andhra Pradesh has deployed a two-thousand strong police contingent in the ecologically fragile villages of Sompeta mandal of Srikakulam district in order to push forcible and unjust acquisition of land for the 2640 MW thermal plant by Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd.  Section 144 has already been clamped in all the villages and it has been reported that the police have arranged for auto-rickshaws that have been roaming the villages with pre-recorded announcements threatening people that there can be no public protest from tomorrow. The people are however agitated and determined to express their right to fully protest the unjust and violent 'development' imposed on them, despite such intimidation and a slew of fabricated cases registered against the villagers and activists.

A few thousand families of farmers, fish workers and other traditional labourers in over 30 villages in the area have been stiffly resisting the Project, since its establishment would irreversibly destroy the ecology and threaten their livelihoods of people in a major way. They have been an on indefinite replay fast for the past very months. The organization of the local people Matsyakara Ikya Vedika (Fish workers United Forum) and Paryavarana Parirakshna Samithi (Environment Protection Committee), led by the women from numerous households are questioning the unjust displacement due to the Project.

The people are determined to protect the precious water body 'Beela' in the abundantly fertile region which sustains the two-crop paddy farming and livelihood of a 1.5 lakh population living in the district. The thermal plant will also upset the fragile ecology of the entire area and severely undermine the marine catch and make life miserable for the people. The fisher-folk communities will also have their livelihood robbed if their access to the "beela" is taken away. Earlier experiences of fisher-folk living in the vicinity of the NTPC thermal plant and several other highly polluting industries in Visakhapatnam district is ample proof of the same.  

Even during the environmental public hearing for the thermal plant in August 2009, an overwhelming majority of people strongly opposed the Project, cutting across community, class, occupation and political party' lines, People have also been organising countless rallies, dharnas, postcard and other peaceful campaigns against the thermal plant proposal since several months. The locals also come out in large numbers and expressed their protest against the Plant during the recent visits of National Convenors of NAPM, Medha Patkar and Sandeep Pandey to the district.

The people state categorically that they are not against development, but are of the firm opinion that the Plant will not usher in sustainable and people-friendly development. Rather, it will destroy and devastate the lives of thousands of families from the farming and fisher-folk communities as well as throw into deep distress landless labourers and artisan classes both of the present and future generations.

It is totally unacceptable and unjustifiable that despite enormous adversarial public opinion, the state government is trying to push the Project by deployment of police force. We urge you to write to the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and all the concerned authorities immediately to ensure that no force is used against the people, immediately remove the police battalions already deployed and guarantee the constitutional and legal right of people to ecologically sustainable development with their consent that will not way affect or compromise their livelihood security.
