Posters put up against MMDR Bill

Posters opposing the Central Government’s Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) Bill have been put up in the State Capital. The demands have been raised to scrap the MMDR law while protesting against the Centre’s policies through the posters.

The posters prominently highlight the rights of the State’s residents over Jharkhand’s water, forests and land.

The posters call upon the “anti-Jharkhand” Central Government to “come to its senses” and revoke the “draconian” MMDR law. They also convey a message to stop snatching away the rights of the people of Jharkhand.

The posters feature photographs of several Jharkhand leaders, including Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Opposition to the Central Government regarding the MMDR Bill has been registered through these displays, which demand that priority be given to Jharkhand’s interests concerning its mineral wealth and natural resources.

The appearance of these posters in public places across the State Capital signals an intensification of the political debate regarding the MMDR Bill. The posters demand that the Central Government withdraw the bill.
