Is this how India deals with people who protest against the building of dams?
**Three killed as BSF opens fire in Manipur **
Three civilians were killed and six injured when security personnel resorted to firing to disperse a crowd which obstructed construction of Khuga Dam in Churachandpur district of Manipur late last night. Sources said inhabitants of areas around Khuga Dam, demanding compensation, destroyed equipment and machines at the dam complex and tried to set fire to offices at Khuga, about 70 kms from here. The crowd also set fire to a police vehicle carrying personnel from Churachandpur police station. As the crowd turned violent, Border Security Force personnel deployed to protect the dam opened fire.
More police forces from Imphal have left for the spot.
Re: Indian soldiers kill three civilians protesting at Dam construction
I hate to break this to you all, but people protesting against dams and canals have also been killed in Pakistan by police. You won't hear much of them since they were Sindhis mostly.

**Bangladesh meet against construction of dam in Manipur **
A two-day International conference held in Dhaka recently opposed the construction of the Tipaimukh dam in Manipur. Representatives of Centre for Organisation and Education (CORE), Centre for Social Development (CSD), Citizens Concern for Dam (CCDD) and some other organisations from India took part in the conference. Dr R K Ranjan of the CCDD told newsmen here today that the delegates opposed the construction of the Tipaimukh dam immediately. He said a survey of all dams in the North Eastern region should be undertaken. The free flow of the Barak river to Bangladesh should not be disturbed, Dr Ranjan added. Barak starts from Manipur and passes through other North Eastern states before flowing to Bangladesh.
