The Dongria Kondh’s victory is under threat - please help
URGENT ACTION Dongria Kondh silenced; Niyamgiri under threat
Notorious British mining company Vedanta Resources is trying to push ahead
with a billion dollar expansion of its alumina refinery at the foot of
India’s Niyamgiri Hills, despite having been refused permission for its
planned mine in the Hills.
The Dongria Kondh, who made history when they refused to give their consent
to the mine, spoke passionately and unanimously against the refinery
expansion at a recent public hearing. But officials ignored their voices
and declared it a ‘success’ for the company. Vedanta could get clearance
for the expansion within weeks. The Dongria fear their sacred Hills are in
danger once again.
Please email the Indian government asking them not to allow this
expansion. Click here

Dear Minister Prakash Javadekar
I am extremely concerned about reports of the recent public hearing for the
Lanjigarh alumina refinery in Odisha, where the strong opposition of local
tribal people was ignored and the hearing was declared a ‘success’ for the
company. I urge you to investigate the hearing and not to accept the
official account.
To allow the expansion of the refinery would be to reward illegal corporate
activity because the works were started without permission, the public
hearing was not conducted according to the law and the expansion would
threaten the Niyamgiri Hills where the Dongria Kondh have expressly refused
to give their consent to a mine. Please, therefore, do not grant clearance
for this expansion.
Yours sincerely,
If you have a few minutes, please write your own message: This is much
more powerful. If your email bounces, please don't worry about letting us
know. It's probably because the recipient has blocked their account due to
the high number of protest emails. It means the campaign is working!
Thank You.
