Now, will MP experience a Nandigram?

A proposed Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Madhya Pradesh's Singrauli area is bringing back memories of the violence between farmers and the government in West Bengal's Nandigram. Farmers have forcibly shut down a power plant and are demanding compensation for their land before they allow work on the SEZ to go ahead. Farmers say the 1200 mega watt Essar Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh will rob them of their homes and livelihood.
