The Hasdeo forest covering Chhattisgarh’s Korba, Sarguja and Surajpur districts, is a noted migratory corridor and has a significant presence of elephants

Environmentalists stood in the sun at the Chhattisgarh Sadan from 10 am to late afternoon on April 11, 2022, protesting the second phase clearance given to the mining projects in Hasdeo Aranya.

The Chhattisgarh government has also given the final clearance for the Parsa coal block and the second phase has also been allowed for the Parsa East Kete Basen coal mine.

Both are owned by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam and operated by the Adani Group, environmentalists told Down to Earth.

“The government promises to increase green cover and carbon sinks and phase out fossil fuels at international conferences like CoP26. On the other, it gives orders for the destruction of forests with rich-biodiversity,” Bhavreen Kandhari, environmentalist, who was present during the protest, said.

Environmentalists protested against the Stage II clearance for the Parsa coal block, that will uproot the lives of around 700 families form six villages in Chhattisgarh.

Environmentalist Bipasha Paul from Chhattisgarh told DTE that the protest happened after green activists came to know that the state government had decided to give the Stage II mining clearance to the project.

This, even when the locals had submitted a memorandum to the state governor and she had given orders for investigation in the matter of fake clearances.

Ram Lal, a local farmer from the Sahli village of Chhattisgarh told DTE that he, along with people from other villages were protesting the fake clearance that the authorities got from the Gram Sabhas or village assemblies for coal mining.
