The feet of a protestor are displayed as others stand in water during the 'Jal Satyagraha' or 'insistence on truth by water' at Ghogal village in India.
The protestors have been in water since Aug. 25 and are demanding compensation and rehabilitation for villagers whose homes will be submerged under water after opening the gates of the Omkareshwar dam in the state because of rise in water levels of the Narmada River.
The protestors, members of the 'Narmada Bachao Andolan' or 'Save narmada Movement', say the government's decision to increase the water level of the Omkareshwar without rehabilitating people living in low lying villages is a violation of a court order, which says villagers must be rehabilitated at least six months before such a move is implemented, according to news reports.
