Mogra dam displaced assured of compensation by January

Bhan Sahu from Rajnandgaon is reporting that displaced families of Mogra dam are yet to be compensated for their inundated land. They gave an ultimatum of 2 weeks to the government but when there was no response they sat on a demonstration on the dam and tried to open the dam gates. Government has now assured them that the compensation will be paid by the month of January. Bhan says if the compensation is not paid by promised date then people have decided to start a hunger strike
