25M occupied the site of one of 30 dams to be built on the Narmada River in India. Objected to a World Bank-funded project to build 30 large, 135 medium and 3M small dams to harness waters of the Narmada and its tributaries to provide electrical power and irrigation. Local residents...organized as they became concerned about their livelihoods, the dams’ environmental impact and a host of other issues. http://bit.ly/VTQVF7
