Ramesh Meena stated that water from villages in the Dang region also reaches the Panchana Dam, yet the people there are not protesting. He stated that water is being drawn from Chambal Rajghat through the Nadoti-Sawai Madhopur Chambal Lift Project, while the second phase of the project was supposed to provide water to approximately 80 villages in the Sapotra, Mandrayal, and Kailadevi catchment areas. To date, these villages have not received water.
He stated that the people of the Dang region have the greatest right to protest over Chambal water, but now a third party has emerged.
