Police injure orchardists defending fruit trees from Adani’s transmission line

/

Lush orchards in the Indian state of West Bengal have become the latest flashpoint along Adani’s chain of land grabs for exploiting coal from its Carmichael mine. The orchards, locally famous for their mangoes and lychees, are to be bulldozed to make way for a high-voltage transmission line taking electricity from Adani’s Godda power plant to Bangladesh. In early July 2022, a huge force of police and Adani supporters overwhelmed orchardists protesting at the destruction of their fruit trees. Several orchardists were injured. Some claim there is a conspiracy to have them murdered.

Defenders of India’s Hasdeo forests enjoyed a huge breakthrough last week, when the relevant state government said it was suspending works on three Adani coal-mining projects. The decision was made following dissent against the mining by a high-profile member of the ruling Congress party in the state of Chhattisgarh. Adivasi (tribal) people have strenuously opposed the coal mines because of the threats to their ancestral lands and way of life. They have called for the stay on the mines to be made permanent.
