19th January 2009 – Hotwar hot on a bandh call

Hotwar is not in Botswana but near Ranchi and is a small village where the displaced villagers are bracing up for a mega sports complex for the 34th National Games-Khelgaon.
But their displacement is causing concern and they have called a bandh today. The displaced villagers decided that they needed to highlight their demands for jobs and other government benefits. They also demanding recruitment of educated youths at the sports complex and in the government offices as well.
