Residents, activists claim new Goa airport construction has impacted water availability

Local residents of North Goa routinely face water shortages that they allege is due to the airport construction on the Barazan plateau. The geology of the plateau, with laterite rock below ground surface facilitates groundwater recharge. Through an intricate web of perennial springs and rivulets, the plateau would supply drinking water round the year to over 7,000 residents of six villages situated in close proximity to what is now the airport.

In A Guwahati Wetland, As The Poor Are Removed, Big Buildings & Institutions, Also ‘Encroachers’, Untouched

As the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Assam removes “encroachments” on a Guwahati wetland, tribal communities living there said they had been paying property taxes and electricity for many years. State governments since 1991 allotted land on the wetland to companies and influential institutions. Today, 16 out of 17 of these lands, allotted by Congress governments, among others, the wife of a member of Parliament and a powerful businessman, are untouched as the poor are displaced.

How New Land Acquisition Procedure by Odisha Government Will Dilute Rights Of Nearly Half A Million Tribals

The revenue department of Odisha introduced a ‘comprehensive’ circular to compensate forest-dwelling tribes for acquisition of forest land they hold legal rights over. The land acquisition law protects the rights of forest-dwelling tribes, even if their claims under the forest rights law are pending, but experts say the circular makes it easier to appropriate forest land for non-forest purposes and exclude those enjoying livelihood rights on forest land as a community
