The withdrawal of the World Bank from the project in I993, the Supreme Court case, petitions to the monitoring agencies - the Narmada Control Authority (NCA) and the Grievances Redressal Authority (GRA), have all played an important role in the people’s struggle against the violation of their fundamental right to life and livelihood.
