Maina protestors released

Friends,

All protestors resisting mining at Maina have been released on bail on the night of 12th October.

We condemn the behaviour of Zila Parishad member Subhash Phaldessai and others, who instigated unprovoked violence on 11th October, when activists were opposing mining in a peaceful way by chaining themselves and blocking roads.

We demand suspension and PI Santosh Desai and an enquiry against him for he and his personnel were quiet witneesses to excesses by criminal elements.
