A protest against a road that villagers in Maharashtra`s Gadchiroli district claim is to facilitate mining activities that would lead to destruction of the environment entered its 19th day on Thursday.
Residents of 70 villages under Surjagarh Todgatta gram sabha have been protesting in the remote Naxalite-affected area under the banners of the Damkondwahi Bachav Kruti Samiti and Paramparik Surjagarh Ilaka Samiti.
