For the past three months, residents of 24 villages in Greater Noida have been protesting against the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) over “unfair compensation” they received for land it acquired from them in the 1980s to set up a power project in Dadri and families not being given jobs as promised.
On Sunday, hundreds of farmers gathered at Rasulpur Chowk in Dadri to burn an effigy of the NTPC and decided they will not celebrate Holi or any other festival until their demands are met.
