டங்ஸ்டன் சுரங்கம் அமைக்கும் திட்டத்தை மத்திய அரசு உடனடியாக நிறுத்த வேண்டி போலீசாரின் தடையும் மீறி நாயக்கர்பட்டியை சேர்ந்த 10க்கும் மேற்பட்ட கிராமங்களில் இருந்து 1000க்கும் மேற்பட்ட கிராம மக்கள் பேரணி போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுப்பட்டனர்.
00:30The government has brought this protest in a state where not only the Madurai district, but the entire Melure district is in a state of destruction.
00:39The purpose of this protest is not to create tension.
00:43We are protesting because the government is using our culture, traditions, and the inscriptions in the Tamil script to destroy them.
00:55I don't think this is a protest.
00:59The Madurai government has destroyed our culture and traditions.
01:05The state government is saying that they don't know about this.
01:08They are saying that they know about this.
01:10They are saying that this happened in the previous government and this happened in this government.
01:15But the people have come together from Melure district to Madurai.
01:25More people are coming.
01:28We will continue to protest until the Madurai district is destroyed.
01:46My name is Manavalan. I am the leader of the CID.
01:51Hello everyone.
01:53Today, as much as India is looking back, the Madurai district, along with the people of Melure and the farmers,
02:00about 2 lakh people have come together in Madurai to protest in front of the Tamil Nadu stadium.
02:13This protest is against the central government.
02:15In Madurai district, in Melure district, about 200-300 villages have been affected.
02:23In the name of the Danson tunnel project, about 50,000 acres of land has been ploughed.
02:27In the first place, 5,000 acres of land has been ploughed.
02:29For the past two months, the people of Madurai have been protesting in silence.
02:33Today, the central government has come together to protest in front of the Tamil Nadu stadium.
02:40Our people's demand is that the Danson tunnel project should be immediately implemented by the central government.
02:47Otherwise, this protest will become more and more violent.
02:51Today, we have gathered in Madurai. Tomorrow, we will not hesitate to go to Delhi.
02:55To that extent, we have committed ourselves to the police force.
03:01If the central government had not come together at this time, this protest could have been carried out in a more peaceful manner.
03:07But you have created a lot of obstacles and put the people in a lot of confusion.
03:11This is really a punishment.
03:13We are all fighting to protect our land and our people.
03:17You should not think that our story is over with your decision.
03:20Next time, the Tamil Nadu government has the duty to declare Madurai as a protected Tamil community.
03:27Similarly, the Tamil Nadu government has the duty to declare Mullai Periyar Pasanam as a protected Velan community.
03:34The people of Madurai want you to take up the law and put it into practice.
03:43This protest is almost over.
03:47Don't think that we are done with this.
03:49We have gathered in Madurai as a symbol.
03:52We will continue our protest until this plan is stopped and Madurai is declared as a protected Tamil community.
04:00Selvaraj Kambu
04:03The Vedanta organization, which has taken the lives of 14 people,
04:08has tried to destroy the hills, hills, temples and temples in Madurai.
04:22The protest against this has taken place as a village protest.
04:27Today, Madurai is on a 20-25 km walk towards the Riyasala organization of the Union of India.
04:37This protest has turned into a huge protest,
04:42where thousands of people have come together to protest,
04:47and lakhs of people have come together to protest.
04:55Today, the Union of India has declared our region as a protected Velan community.
05:07It has declared our region as a protected tribal community.
05:12No one can set foot in our region.
05:15This is our land.
05:17This is our property.
05:18This is our country.
05:20No one has the right to set foot in Delhi.
05:25We have been warned about this.
05:28We are not ready to listen to any political parties that want to do this.
05:35This is a united coalition of the Union of India.
05:39We are announcing that this coalition will not stop until the Tungsten tunnel project is stopped.
05:47We are warning the farmers and farmers' associations to be alert.
05:52The unity of the political parties must be strengthened.
05:56The unity of the political parties must be strengthened.
05:58If not, the unity of the political parties will be destroyed.
06:05I am Pandian, a citizen of Tamil Nadu,
