The Quint: Villagers’ Protest Against Energy Project Could Be Marina 2.0



First, the rains failed them. Then successive central governments failed them. And then the corporates let them down. The people of Neduvasal, a village in the Cauvery delta region in Tamil Nadu’s Pudukkottai district, have awoken and sparked a new revolution.
The quiet little village with paddy fields, coconut farms and groundnut crops, is suddenly bustling with protesters all around. Student groups, politicians, film stars, environmentalists, researchers and representatives of several NGO are visiting the village to show support in a fight against the central government’s ambitious hydrocarbon extraction project.
