Adani's Carmichael coal mine may have government approval, but it could lose a key customer if locals win a lengthy fight to stop the company's new coal-fired power plant in India.
"The tariff from the Adani Power Jharkhand Limited India power station at Godda includes the cost of transmission and will be much lower than the prevailing electricity tariff in Bangladesh."Mr Buckley argues the cost-plus electricity contract, signed with the state-owned Bangladesh Power Development Board, is clearly designed to benefit Adani and is, at least in part, an attempt to prop up Adani Enterprises' Carmichael coal project in Australia.
Archaeologists estimate that the Santhal have been in eastern India for up to 65,000 years. Like Aboriginal Australians, they have an ancient and spiritual connection to the land that has long been recognised in legislation."Land is indispensable to a Santhal," a local villager explained to the independent Indian filmmaker who shared her interviews with the ABC.
One of them says: "We belong here, this is our ancestral land. We are buried on our land. We have no problem dying on our land but we will not give it away." While there is widespread opposition among the Santhal, opinion is divided in villages in the path of the Godda project.
