Farmers, who have turned these areas into fertile zones of agriculture, see themselves being displaced by concrete structures and real estate speculators.

Wanphrang Diengdoh, a member of Thma U Rangli Juki (TUR) documented one such protest against NST which was held at Diengpasoh. Click any picture to enter the Gallery.
