People affected by the Omkareshwar dam project sat on an indefinite ‘ jal satyagr aha ’ against the Madhya Pradesh government’s decision of filling up the dam up to a height of 193 meters.

The protesters, gathered under the banner of the Narmada Bachao Andolan in Ghogalgaon village of Khandwa district, set up a camp just above 189 meters, the current water level of the dam, and commenced the satyagrah a , resolving to not budge until the government fulfilled their rightful demands of relief and rehabilitation, including land-based compensation.

The 520 MW Omkareshwar project is one of the several big dams on the Narmada river. The current water level of the dam is 189 meters and the protesters fear if filled beyond that level, the dam would submerge their lands, spread across several villages. The dam affected people declared that if the authorities tried to fill the dam beyond 189 meters, they would ‘offer submergence’ but would not move.
