“We
are in a difficult water war situation.
The industries took away our land, water and livelihoods. In return, they have employed a few youth of
our area. Majority still survive on
agriculture and water is key for that. Now,
as we have to compete with the industries for the increasingly decreasing water
resources, we find ourselves in a typical situation. So, if we ask the industries not to exploit
water, our own children employed there may lose their jobs. And if their jobs are retained, a large
number of farmers will lose their livelihood”…
