Villagers Protest at Gangavaram Port in Visakhapatnam Demanding Justice for Deceased Worker
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, February 13, 2024 – In a dramatic turn of events, villagers and relatives of a deceased worker staged a protest in front of Gangavaram port gate, demanding justice. The deceased, identified as Apparao, allegedly died due to stomach ache, which the villagers believe was caused by the pollution from Orion ore and coal at Gangavaram village.
The protestors expressed their grievances over the lack of medical facilities provided by the management of Adani Gangavaram Port. They claimed that every company in India has a hospital for its workers, but the port authorities have failed to establish one for the villagers and workers of Gangavaram. The absence of a medical facility has compelled them to seek medical assistance elsewhere, putting an additional burden on their families.
“The villagers of Gangavaram gave their land for the establishment of Gangavaram port. However, the management of Adani Gangavaram port is playing games with our lives,” the protestors alleged. They also criticized the port authorities for their apathy towards the numerous dharnas (protests) staged by the villagers in the past.
The protestors demanded immediate action from the management, including the provision of medical assistance to the villagers and financial support to the family of the deceased worker. The villagers believe that their ongoing struggle is not only for justice but also for the welfare of the entire community.
This tragic incident has shed light on the environmental concerns surrounding Gangavaram village. The pollution caused by the port’s activities has been an ongoing issue, with villagers claiming that it affects their health on a daily basis. The protestors have called for stricter regulations and accountability from the port authorities to ensure the well-being of the community.
The protest at Gangavaram port gate highlights the plight of the villagers and the urgent need for action. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of corporate responsibility and the obligation to prioritize the welfare of workers and local communities. The villagers remain steadfast in their demands for justice and are determined to fight for their rights until their concerns are addressed.
