What were the reasons for fear among villagers and environmentalists from the establishment of industries in Uttarakhand? |
|
Answer» The fear among villagers and environmentalists was of ecological and economic exploitation of the region. The villagers demanded that no contracts to exploit forest resources should be given to outsiders. They argued that the locals were dependent on these resources and therefore local communities should have effective control over natural resources like land, water, trees and other resources. |
