Anti-dam Activists In Assam

The anti-dam stir in Assam gained momentum on Wednesday with activists blocking highways and burning effigies of Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi after a fresh move was made to carry equipment to a site which, activists say, would impact downstream areas.

Team Anna member Akhil Gogoi broke his fast after nine days at the request of the Gandhian leader, Anna Hazaare but said that his campaign against big dams would continue.
