Dam was built in 2005, affected farmers have got only assurances

Bhan Sahu today travels to Mogra village 9 kms from Ambagarh Chowki in Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh. She talks to a villager who tells her that a dam was built in the village in year 2005. Many farmers lost their land but they are yet to get their compensation. He says we went to officials many times. Last year we sat on a dharna and the officials promised we will get compensation by January. Recently we again went to the collector who sent us back giving more assurances.
