Chhattisgarh: Won't budge till all coal mine projects withdrawn, say protesters on 111th day of stir

After battling the scorching heat of the summer months while protesting against the clearances to coal mines projects in Hasdeo Arand region since March this year, villagers in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district are now prepared to get drenched in the monsoon rains during their ongoing agitation.

The protesters said nothing can dampen their morale as they are fighting for their land where they have been living for generations and they will not give up the demonstration until their demands are met.

The protest at Hariharpur village, located around 60 km away from Ambikapur (headquarter of Surguja district), against three coal mine projects entered 111th day on Sunday.
