Abstract: This report brings out again sharply the perennial question, which the poor in the country are asking – Development for Whom? A big business company has been allotted land disproportionate to the requirement. The result is the displacement of thousands of people from Bejhera Khurd, Kakrana, Dhaulana, Dehra and Jadaupur villages. Farmers protested not only at being displaced but also at not being given their fair market price to the least they are entitled to; though the Government had promised them it resiled and the farmers persisted in their peaceful protest. They were locked up in jail, beaten up by the police and locked up in jail with injured persons not getting proper medical aid. Report of an investigation by PUCL and the National Alliace for People's Movement (NAPM).
