00:00 Save the river! Save the canal!
00:06 Today, Shivangan society is protesting by the residents
00:12 for the illegal construction of the road by the builders.
00:15 Let's understand why this is happening and what is the reason behind it.
00:19 Can someone tell us why this kind of protest is being done here in Shivangan?
00:25 We are all residents of Shivangan and the canal runs right in the middle of our colony.
00:30 The land on both sides of the canal belongs to the irrigation department.
00:33 But yesterday, as you can see from the video,
00:39 the road that you can see in front of you is the land of the irrigation department.
00:44 Yesterday, 40-50 trees were planted on this road.
00:47 All these trees were cut down and today, this road has been built within a day.
00:50 And the trees have been cut down and thrown away.
00:53 We are all standing against this.
00:56 If the trees are cut down, what will happen to the environment?
01:00 And we are all worried about the health problems of the residents.
01:05 That's why we are protesting.
01:07 Is this road necessary for this colony?
01:10 This road is not necessary.
01:12 The government road is going on both sides of the colony.
01:17 So, it is sufficient for the rest of the colonies.
01:20 The connectivity is sufficient.
01:23 When we purchased this land, we were told that the builder had bought this land.
01:29 Today, you can see that the road is being built here.
01:31 We thought that our children will play here.
01:34 Our family members will sit here.
01:38 But you can see that there is no facility here.
01:41 After this, the road is being built.
01:43 This is the wrong way.
01:44 Is there a provision that when such construction is done,
01:46 the builders take the permission of the residents?
01:49 No, there is no permission.
01:52 This is the land of the construction department.
01:54 No such work can be done on this land.
01:56 The construction department has not given any such permission.
01:59 Yesterday, all the officials of our colony talked to us.
02:02 And we found out that there is no permission here.
02:05 The biggest concern is that the trees have been cut down.
02:08 Big trees have been cut down.
02:10 Only the road has not been built.
02:12 These are the big trees.
02:14 You can see that there are 50 trees cut down from the front to the back.
02:20 This canal...
02:23 I think this canal is very old.
02:27 No, this canal has been closed.
02:30 Now, it has become a drain.
02:32 Actually, it should have been a canal.
02:34 Earlier, it was a very wide canal.
02:36 We bought our house here after seeing this.
02:39 They have taken 50,000 rupees for the canal and garden.
02:44 There is still a road to go to the back colony.
02:48 It is a functioning road.
02:50 It is a 80-feet road.
02:51 There is no problem to go.
02:53 It is for everyone.
02:54 No one comes and goes from here.
02:56 And this is already a bridge road for the residents of Shivangang.
02:59 We don't need it.
03:00 They have done wrong with us.
03:03 This road has been built by the builder on the land of the colony.
03:08 And a road has been built 10 meters from the canal.
03:13 Save the canal.
03:15 Save the trees.
