Upcoming power plant wants to take over village common land

Bhan Sahu is reporting from a village in Rajnandgaon where work for a power plant is going on. The company has taken 300 acre of land but they now also want to take over a 20 acre common land of the village. Villagers use that land to make stone chips. Many families run their livelihood on that income. Company and state government is regularly harassing villagers and at the construction work also only few villagers have got any job
