The people of Bhagalpur—farmers, tribal families, daily wage earners, and children—are the ones paying the price for this backroom deal. For generations, they have lived on and nurtured this land, drawing food, water, and life from its soil and forests. Now, with the handover of 1,020 acres to Adani for just ₹1, they face displacement, hunger, and the erasure of their way of life. Their voices were never heard, their consent never sought, and their futures are being sold for corporate profit.

This is not just about a patch of land—it is about the soul of Bihar. Over 10 lakh trees are at risk of being axed, threatening our climate, our rivers, and our air. Once cut, they cannot be brought back. Once gone, the fertile soil will turn barren. Once surrendered, the public’s land will never return to the people. If such deals are allowed to pass, it sets a dangerous precedent where private corporations can treat our environment, our resources, and our democracy as commodities to be bought and sold.

History is watching. If we remain silent today, tomorrow no forest, no farmland, no community will be safe from being auctioned off at throwaway prices. The urgency is real—because the trees will not wait, the bulldozers will not pause, and the contracts will not tear themselves apart. We must act now, as citizens, as youth, as guardians of our future, to say loud and clear: Bihar is not for sale. This is not just resistance; this is survival.
