Celebrations erupt after India’s ultra-right-wing government cancelled a hazardous mining project, following consistent mass protests.

Vedanta has spent its company’s revenue over the years to service a debt it owes to a subsidiary of itself, leaving little for the workers, the government treasury and the state-owned mining company

Despite the protest, Vedanta continue to deepen its roots by obtaining permission for hydro carbon extraction in the delta district.

One tribal activist was killed and many injured after security personnel deployed at Vedanta factory attacked the protesters.
