The Opposition parties in Maharashtra have asked the state government to stop the land survey process for the proposed oil refinery at Barsu-Solgaon in Ratnagiri district. They alleged that the government was misusing the police machinery to threaten and pressurise villagers and activists opposing the project.
Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar said: “It is dictatorial of the government to arrest protesters and stop the media from telecasting the proceedings at Barsu-Solgaon. The government must respect the sentiments of the people and stop the survey process immediately.”
