No references found | The thought of spending real time on the banks of India's second biggest freshwater lake (largest being Chilika in Orissa) fringed with palm and lush green paddy fields was invigorating. On June 11, 1999, five Indian villagers were killed and 24 others injured for protesting the non-implementation of a Supreme Court's ban on shrimp farms within 1,000 meters of Orissa's Chilika Lake -- India's largest brackish water lagoon. The National Fishworkers Forum had given a 24 hour ultimatum to demolish all prawn ponds on Chilika Lake, from whose fish the workers derive their livelihoods. |
