In a shocking turn of events, the police and administration in Chhattisgarh have commenced the cutting down of thousands of ancient trees in the Hasdeo forest, raising alarm among environmentalists and local communities. This deforestation poses a significant threat to our future. Despite the absence of consent from village councils, authorities have obtained permits through fraudulent proposals, allowing the destruction of these vital ecosystems.

Today, our nation faces a dire situation where our forests, natural resources, and rich cultural heritage are being sold to powerful industrialists. The actions of Adani and the Modi government have resulted in catastrophic damage to our environment for their own selfish interests. The rampant exploitation by the Adani Group compels us to question whether we can preserve our land and its prosperity.

As we witness the devastation of the Hasdeo forests, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand if BJP leaders are solely focused on profits. Are they indifferent to the rights and livelihoods of our indigenous communities? Prime Minister Modi promised good governance and development, yet his administration has silenced the voices of those indigenous people who are fighting for their roots and rights.

Call to action

It is our responsibility to amplify their voices and stand against this injustice. We must recognize that protecting the environment and society is not merely an option but a duty. The X post calls us join forces in this struggle and raise our voices in unison. We must stand together to oppose the policies of Adani and Modi, safeguarding our natural resources for future generations.
