Police pick up Medha Patkar

Special Correspondent

MUMBAI: Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Medha Patkar was picked up by the Mumbai police on Monday evening while she was leaving the State Secretariat after an inter-State meeting on rehabilitation issues concerning the Sardar Sarovar Project.

Ms. Patkar was taken to the Marine Drive police station along with other activists of the Narmada Bachao Andolan.

NBA sources said that several project-affected people had gathered outside the Secretariat in the evening to protest against the proposed increase in the height of the Sardar Sarovar dam.

The police are estimated to have picked up 100 people who were demonstrating, demanding that the construction of the dam be stopped.
