let us decide what type of developmental project we want in our area. ...

People of mithi virdi against nuclear power plant 

Mithi Virdi... proposed Site for Nuclear power plant. 

rich in agriculture because land is fertile and also has irrigation facility. People take 3 crops per year. Average earning from agriculture and animal husbandry is 1.8 lakhs/per year/per acre (2.5 bigha)

NPCL have engaged land acquisition officers to convince people for land acquisition. But farmers have given slogan"jaan denge par jamin nahi"

people narrated during our field visited " We understand what are harmful effect of nuclear power plant,.. we have visited Tarapur and have read about fukoshima."

"collector came to convince us... he told that company will make development" but what is development?? we live on agriculture... we have grazing land.. cattles... we grow vegetables.. bajra, wheat... sugarcane..... cotton... coconut.. even cashewnut...... our children are going to good school.. we are providing employment to land less labourers.. "
"In addition to this, thousands of birds, small and big animals,,,, plants... small organisms live on and underneath our land.... they all are also getting their food...shelter....life..from our agriculture... "
"There is scope for agriculture based industry in our area like onion powder making, pulp making ,jute. making, mango pulp... pickle etc etc... let "us" decide what is development....." 

"if government want to put nuclear power plant.. let it put in barren,..... desert areas.. and not in agriculturally rich fertile areas........".
