00:00 I am Mahendra Nayak, Pithinda Sarpanch.
00:03 You are here at NS49, at the protest, against NDBC. What is your demand?
00:09 We have been demanding that since we have been Sarpanch, since NDBC has come, we have given them written memorandums.
00:19 But they are saying yes and nothing else. They are not working.
00:23 We have stopped the protest every day.
00:32 What problems do you have?
00:34 There are many problems. First of all, I would like to say that all types of NDBC are here in our area.
00:40 The name alone is in Chhattisgarh, but all types of pollution is spreading here.
00:45 First of all, I will talk about water. There is a dam in Jhilingi Tal in Odisha.
00:54 There is a canal below the dam that comes directly into the Kelo river.
01:00 The Kelo river that comes from Raigad, is at the border of Odisha.
01:04 When it rains, the water from the dam comes directly into the Kelo river.
01:15 The water from the Kelo river goes to the Mahanadi.
01:18 The water from the Mahanadi goes to the Sarpanchayat for supply.
01:26 L&T has organized a project where the water from the L&T goes to every panchayat for supply.
01:34 So, this is affecting the water.
01:36 Secondly, the dust that comes in the summer, is coming directly to the 7-8 villages around us.
01:46 So, there is no pollution.
01:49 Secondly, the land. We have jumped to the NH49 project.
01:56 Earlier, the vehicles were not moving this much.
01:58 Since the NTPC, the vehicles are moving above 1000.
02:02 Coal is being dumped and accidents are increasing.
02:04 This is a big problem.
02:06 There are daily accidents.
02:08 We are dying daily.
02:10 To clean the dust, we do not add water.
02:15 Thirdly, the air pollution.
02:19 The air pollution is 0 km away from us.
02:21 The area affected by the NTPC is 0 km away from Sarpanchayat.
02:26 The air pollution is directly affecting us.
02:30 The air, water and land are affecting us.
02:35 Thirdly, we have not planted any plants to control the air pollution.
02:42 The NTPC has not done anything for the people of Odisha.
02:45 We have not done anything.
02:46 We have not planted anything.
02:48 Secondly, we are not doing any plantation.
02:52 We have zero employment.
02:54 Odisha and Chhattisgarh are being named.
02:56 We are not hiring Odisha workers.
02:58 We have been working for a month or two and we are leaving them.
03:00 Secondly, we are taking money.
03:02 We are doing a job of 10,000 and we are paying 40,000.
03:06 Because of that, there is no farming happening.
03:10 The unemployment is increasing and the unemployed are not getting any work.
03:14 We are demanding that every panchayat should give 100 people their level of work.
03:19 Give them the level of work according to their IT.
03:24 Secondly, when the NTPC came here for the first time,
03:27 it promised the people of our area that free electricity will be given.
03:31 It has not been given till now.
03:33 Thirdly, the CSR fund was given once in the 1970s.
03:40 It has been 4-5 years since then and it has not been given.
03:45 After that, the CSR fund was given and the labour fund was given.
03:50 The workers are not getting any work.
03:52 We want to build a health camp.
03:54 We are demanding that every panchayat should give 100 people their employment.
03:59 It is also affecting the fishermen here.
04:03 They are leaving the water and the fish are becoming blue.
04:07 It is difficult to run the fishermen's family.
04:10 We have given the memorandum many times.
04:13 But nothing has been done.
04:15 We will continue the movement.
04:17 We will continue the movement.
04:18 Until we don't give it in writing, we will continue the movement.
