 | | For some time, the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Digvijay Singh, did not give in on the height of the dam, realising that the more land was submerged, wider would be the devastation in terms of ploughed land, houses and the like. |
 | | The danger is that the Modi Government, on the one hand, and the Centre, on the other, are pressuring Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to agree to the increase in the height of the dam. |
 | | The affected people in the Alirajpur tehsil, Jhabua district in Madhya Pradesh, who are predominantly tribal, told the team that though they had been cultivating the land for generations, their names did not figure in the land records and now their lands are going to be submerged with no entitlement to any compensation. |
