…But the dam will submerge 276 villages, displacing farmers and fisherfolk…The “big players already there” include Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), Reliance, and Cairn Energy…In all the talk in the political sphere, the people who stand to lose their lands, livelihoods, homes (in this case, tribal communities, fish workers, dalits, etc) remain invisible…Livelihoods that will be affected include agriculture (settled and shifting), forest-based livelihoods (collection of minor forest produce, etc), livestock rearing (cattle, goats, and backyard poultry), and fishing……And still there is no suitable policy catering to the rights of fish workers, especially those displaced by dams.
