[DOC] UP [Uttar Pradesh] farmers pay heavy price for Reliance power plant [India]

On 7th and 8th July forces of the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) brutally attacked residents of Bajhera Khurd, Dhaulana Block in Ghaziabad District of Uttar Pradesh, injuring many including women, disabled and old people and vandalising/looting property worth lakhs of rupees. The apparent crime of the villagers, mostly farmers, was to continue demanding better compensation for their land being acquired by the Mulayam Singh government to hand over to the Anil Ambani group's Reliance Energy Generation Ltd, which plans to build a 3500 MW power plant to supply electricity to Delhi and adjoining parts of Uttar Pradesh.
