Mukul-da,
Tell me of ONE (only one) privately run business which you apporve of. Given
your fear of capitalism I don't think you would approve of any private company
-let alone Avedanta.
Regards.

FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } Dear Achyut Das,
Please note following:
*India claims to be "Almost a superpower".
*India makes noises at UN ,Environmental Forums, Green Earth....
*Indian LEADERSHIP is supposed to ensure that India's
-Orissa's-Andhra's-Assam's final wealth-in-the-ground are not for fast looting
to create more Ambanis,Mittals,Tatas,POSCo s--and streets paved with Gold in
Delhi-Haryana-London-Davos-Cancun....,
*We have to decide what "Development" we need--- to achieve what?
*Does it mean that whom we trained up -giving everything we have-join the
Looters to fleece us more? And then Show Us Guns-and Talks of "Sacred
Constitution-written by Our Founding Fathers"
*Did we vote MP's to use Diplomatic Passports to Traffic Humans-or to write
more LAWS -what can they? Or to amass 5000Crores each (and get shot by the
Brother)
*Did you Vote "LAWMAKERS" to "GRANT" Mineral Leases-and to buy 'BoforsGuns and
Helicopters' to use to quell protesters trying to stop the loot? To "DEFEND"
the Nation?
*Answer to all these are in your hands
*Think Globally and act locally!!
Regarding Pollution Control Monitoring:
These are tiny problems -- Lower Primary School Techers in all villages can be
trained in a week and equipped -spending peanuts- to daily monitor /Keep log of
all Water/Air-borne pollution and to sound alarm bells.
Get your local College/University Ph.D's to come to their villages to justify
their ill-begotten Doctorates!!
Best Wishes for Clean Orissa-Happy Orissa-Unspoilt Orissa--maybe
"Underdeveloped Orissa". Orissa Survived Since Emperor Ashoka's time by
spreading to Lanka and Indo-China.
Put fancy "Progress" on HOLD

Subject: [WaterWatch] Re: SPAM [orissamining] More Vedanta
Dear Friends,
I am very much concerned that Vedanta Bauxite Mining and Alumina Refinery
will destroy two major rivers - Bansadhara and Nagavalli originating from
Naiyamgiri Hills and flowing through South Orissa into Andhra Pradesh. It is
feared that the pH in these rivers will be around 14 and one can imagine the
impact.
I am sending this mail to seek support from the environmentalists and
scientists to monitor the pollution level in these two rivers.
My suggestion is that we should have selected locations where local
people/youths can be trained to monitor water quality.
Can any one help with a design for the monitoring system?
With best wishes,
Achyut Das

Padayatras taken out for and against Vedanta plant
Statesman News Service
BHAWANIPATNA, April 25: Kalahandi witnessed hectic political activities today
with those who are for and against Vedanata group taking out separate
padayatras and their leaders delivering fiery speeches.
The 12-day long padayatra of Green Kalahandi ~ started on 14 April giving
call for protection of Jal-Jamin-Jungle ~ concluded here with a public meeting
wherein Opposition leaders launched a tirade against the state government for
showing "undue favour" to Vedanata Industries. Led by former Union minister Mr
Bhakta Charan Das, the meeting was addressed by OPCC chief Mr Jayadev Jena, Mr
Umesh Swain, Left party leaders such as Mr Janardan Pati and Mr Ashish Kanungo
and also Mr Srikanta Jena. Mr Bhakta Charan Das, who has formed Green
Kalahandi, said mining on the Niyamagiri hills would destroy the ecological
balance and nothing in terms of compensation or rehabilitation and resettlement
policy could compensate the destruction that would take place. A seven point
charter addressed to the Governor was released on the occasion.
Simultaneously, another set of political padayatris under the banner of
Kalahandi Bikash Abhijan held a meeting in Kesinga today. This move, allegedly
conducted by the ruling BJD leaders, was to project the Vedanta industries as a
boon for the district and the local people.Mr Balabhadra Majhi, BJD MLA, who
was unceremoniously sacked from the ministry, addressed the meeting along with
Mr Ayub Ali Khan, Mr Bhawani Shankar Nial and others. They hailed the
industrial policy of the state government and how it had attracted a major
industry to a district like Kalahandi. The leaders alleged that some
disgruntled and rejected politicians were trying to put a spoke in the wheels
of development only to garner political mileage.
A memorandum addressed to chief minister was released on the occasion wherein
there was demand to gear up periphery development activity by the plant and to
look into the interest of the local youths in the matter of employment.
