00:00It's been three to four months since it started.
00:03They didn't give us any notification, didn't give us any question.
00:06They just took our stuff and started.
00:08We are against this factory.
00:12This is cancer failure.
00:13Our generation will be finished.
00:15Our generation will be finished.
00:17There will be a lot of other losses.
00:19They say that they will become a warehouse here.
00:22Because the people of the village, look at the bearded people, the poor people.
00:26They live like a house.
00:27Now if the plant starts, it will be very bad.
00:29Look at the biggest reason.
00:30When this plant started, the Google map of our village was named.
00:35The Google map of Bagga village is being named.
00:39Bagga village in Ludhiana has become a topic of discussion these days.
00:43Because a gas factory is being built on a big rock here.
00:47The people of the village have started opposing it.
00:50First of all, let me show you a picture behind me.
00:52A gas factory is being built here.
00:55Whatever waste is there, whether it is rice or sugarcane blood,
01:00it will be used as a material and gas will be made.
01:03The big ones are being made with it.
01:06You can see that the whole mix will be found there.
01:10After that, the gas will be made with water.
01:13So the people of the village have started opposing it.
01:17They have put up a protest here.
01:18Let me show you the picture first.
01:20The people of Bagga village have gathered here.
01:23This protest has been going on for a long time.
01:26It has been three to four months since this factory was built.
01:31They have not given us any notification.
01:34They have not given us any question.
01:35They have just taken the goods and started.
01:37We, the whole area, are opposing this factory.
01:40Because this is a big one.
01:42There is 400,000 liters of water in it.
01:46In that, sugarcane, chemical, and wheat are mixed.
01:51After its juicing, that water will go to the earth.
01:55After that, this water will go to our homes for a month or two.
02:00This will spread cancer.
02:01Our generation will be finished.
02:03Our generation will be finished.
02:05There will be a lot of other losses.
02:07We, the whole area, are opposing this.
02:10Have you spoken to the administration or the MLA?
02:13Have you given any request?
02:14What action have they taken so far?
02:16Have you brought a report?
02:18On the 9th, we went to the D.C.
02:22We went there and gave our request.
02:24We gave them 10 days' time.
02:27We said that we will close the gate on the 19th.
02:30But no one came to us.
02:32That's why we, the whole area, went to the villages.
02:35We gave awareness.
02:36We gave support to the whole area.
02:38And we closed this factory.
02:40It has become a hill.
02:41It has become a hill.
02:42It has become a valley.
02:43There are no plants there.
02:45When we started here, we were sitting here for 4-5 months.
02:49Three months ago, we gave a request to the MLA and the Commissioner.
02:54The administration did not come.
02:56They did not do anything else.
02:58This work is going on day and night.
03:00Today, on the 9th of January, we gave a request.
03:03We met the D.C. and he said that we need time.
03:08He said that this can't be done.
03:10We need to close it.
03:11Because there is a lot of loss.
03:12You must have seen that when this plant is going to be made,
03:14it is going to be made on dirt.
03:16It is going to be chemical.
03:17It is going to be 40 lakh litres of water.
03:19And it is going to be put in the dirt.
03:21It has become a lot of dust.
03:22With this, all the dirty water that goes down,
03:25all the drinking water,
03:27that dirty water,
03:29that dirty water,
03:32cancer, black and yellow diseases will start.
03:35When we don't get drinking water,
03:37the farmland will be destroyed.
03:38Secondly, when this plant is made,
03:40the area around it will be developed.
03:42Now, there is a lot of property work.
03:44This area has been developed.
03:46When this is going to be run,
03:47not one, but four things will be closed.
03:49How far is the hash-talk?
03:50Sir, I think this is right in front of the village.
03:52It is not even 100 metres.
03:54Because legally, it should be at least 300 metres away.
03:59For the sake of our village,
04:00I think it should be at least 50 to 30 metres away.
04:03The question is,
04:04now that this plant is being built,
04:05the land that they have bought,
04:07when they bought it,
04:09didn't the villagers know at that time
04:10that this factory was going to be built here?
04:12When did they buy this land?
04:13Because at that time,
04:14why did they give the land?
04:15Because this would have been the village's land.
04:17The landowners, the people of the village,
04:18would have had their land.
04:19From 2004, the seventh land has been bought.
04:22Kosta land was the panchayat land of our village,
04:24which was allotted to us by the village council.
04:28The case also went on.
04:29The case also went on.
04:30The council's water is flowing there.
04:31In 2004, they bought the seventh land.
04:33Before that, it was said that it would become a warehouse.
04:35Because the people of the village,
04:36look at the bearded people,
04:37they are poor people.
04:38They have to live their lives.
04:40Now that the plant is in operation,
04:41it will be very bad for them.
04:42What did they do?
04:43For two or four months,
04:44they bought seven acres of land.
04:45Along with that,
04:46they saw that the road has also been passed.
04:49They wanted to bring a biogas project here.
04:52In Pundri, in Mushkabad, in Kangrali,
04:55it has generally been closed.
04:57Because wherever it is closed,
04:58the administration has seen that
04:59this thing will not stop,
05:00but it will have to be closed.
05:01The rest of the villages
05:02had put their villages on sale.
05:05They say that they have become so helpless
05:06that if the factory is set up here,
05:08we will have to be forced to leave the village.
05:11We will have to leave our village.
05:12So the same situation will arise here too.
05:14You have also thought in front of the village
05:15that if this does not happen,
05:16then the village will be put on sale.
05:18Absolutely right.
05:19When the water got dirty,
05:20we had to go to the village to get water.
05:23Look at the biggest reason.
05:24When this plant started to be built,
05:26the Google map of our four villages was put up.
05:29The Google map of the biggest village of Bagga Khur is being put up.
05:33Our village was involved in Mannewal.
05:36Our village is 70 years old.
05:39Before that, there were four villages.
05:41There are roads all around it.
05:43The government has put up this plant
05:45because the value of this village is high.
05:47We were told that there will be a warehouse here.
05:50People were misled.
05:51People in the village were tried to buy Asepa Seri.
05:55Okay, this is how Asepa Seri is sold.
05:58They did not sell it.
06:00They saw that our future generations will be finished.
06:03Look, the young people are being threatened.
06:07If you sit here,
06:08you will have your documents.
06:09The administration will take you away.
06:11In the end, they are standing with us.
06:13The administration gave us a request letter.
06:15We gave it to the D.C.
06:16We gave it to the D.C.
06:17We gave a request letter to the Commissioner's MLA.
06:19No one is going to take it.
06:21We will not give it to anyone.
06:22What is this?
06:23There are already many diseases in this area.
06:28There are cancerous diseases.
06:29You must have seen it a few days ago.
06:31Lakha Bajikandi and other people
06:33called me to clean this area with the old man.
06:35Look, the area around it
06:37is full of cancerous diseases.
06:39It has become very difficult.
06:40The water is all over the river.
06:42Now, this water,
06:43no one has the capacity to clean it.
06:45Okay?
06:46Now, they have to put this water in the ground.
06:48The biggest reason is that
06:50the river area around us
06:52whether it is Kangrali or Pundri,
06:55there is a blue canal around Kangrali.
06:58Wherever the water level is high,
06:59these people take the project there.
07:01What is the reason?
07:02Because the water level is high,
07:04there is a lot of water available.
07:05Now, here also,
07:06they have to put 40 lakh litres of water.
07:08In our village,
07:09in 25 villages,
07:10they can't put water for 6 months.
07:12They have to put 40 lakh litres of water in a day.
07:15There are 10 wells.
07:16Out of the 10 wells,
07:17dirty gas is created.
07:18The water is dirty.
07:19Our canal will be closed.
07:21Our canal will be closed.
07:23We won't be able to do anything.
07:25This is our factory.
07:27It should be closed.
07:29This is a poor world.
07:31Our generation is over.
07:33This generation will also be over.
07:35The disease will spread a lot.
07:37There will be no business.
07:39If we don't sell it,
07:41people will come to us.
07:42What will we sell?
07:43What will we buy?
07:44What will we do with the money?
07:46It should be closed.
07:47We request you to close it.
07:50How long have you been sitting here?
07:54It's been 4 to 5 months.
07:56We have been sitting here for 6 months.
07:595 months ago,
08:00they used to do it a little.
08:02Now, they say it's too much.
08:04If it continues for a long time,
08:06will you be sitting here?
08:07Yes, we will be sitting here.
08:08We want to say that
08:10if the disease is saved,
08:12it will be great.
08:13If the factory is closed,
08:14it will be great.
08:15It should be closed.
08:16We will sit here.
08:17The pictures show that
08:19the people of the village
08:21are sitting here.
08:22The people of the village say
08:24that not only will the factory
08:26pollute the area,
08:27but the water will also be polluted.
08:29The villagers will have to bear the loss
08:31because the people of the nearby villages
08:33don't use the water as much
08:35as the factories do.
08:37Before this,
08:38there were many factories
08:39and projects in many villages
08:40where people opposed it.
08:42The project was closed there.
08:45Now, the villagers are sitting here
08:47to protest.
08:48The government has complained
08:50many times,
08:51but the government has not come
08:53to see the project.
08:54We will see what the government
08:56does now.
