Tag Balda bauxite mine
Disputed Gram Sabha consent for the Balda bauxite mining project.
Villagers in Balda and Bannur allege that signatures and thumbprints—including entries for people who had died—were used to show approval for a Kalinga Alumina bauxite mine. Reported records and affidavits raise serious questions about Gram Sabha consent, forest rights and official scrutiny; forgery and individual criminal responsibility remain allegations.
