Projects
The Dravyavati River rejuvenation project was approved in 2015, awarded to a consortium of Tata Group and the Shanghai Urban Construction Group with an initial cost of over 131 crore Rupees to complete the work by October 2018.[1][2] The estimated ten-year project cost, covering construction, operation and maintenance, was over 150 crore Rupees.[3]
The
Criticism
Protests have taken place in Nindar against the compensation being offered for a proposed housing scheme. Farmers have been burying themselves neck-deep or going on hunger strike. The housing scheme is supposed to construct up to 10,000 homes.[5][6]
The Dravyavati river is being constructed by capturing the private land of the poor farmers situated by the JDA at Goner village. The farmers are entitled to 25% compensation from the JDA in respect of this land, but JDA is constructing a Dravyavati river on the farmers land without paying any compensation to farmers.[
