In Jaisalmer, India, the two-month long protest by the villagers of Baiya has finally ended after a agreement was reached with the district administration. The villagers had opposed the construction of Adani Power’s 600 MW solar power project, claiming that it threatened their Oran (grove) and local culture. As a result of the protest, the administration has allocated 812 bigha of land for the pasture near Ainath Ji’s temple. In return, Adani Power has agreed to provide alternative land for its substation. The agreement was facilitated by a meeting led by the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, and the district collector modified the land allocation to ensure the concerns of the villagers were addressed.
The protest comes to an end after the land allocated for the Adani power project is relocated away from Oran.
