Hasdeo forest protest

Alok Shukla spoke in Bhopal about the 15-year battle to save Hasdeo forest. The movement successfully stopped 20 out of 23 coal mining blocks, but the new government has resumed tree cutting. The fight for tribal rights continues.

In the Hariharpur village of Surguja district, a peaceful protest aimed at protecting the Hasdeo forest has been ongoing for over two years.
