Bahuguna arrested

Environmentalist Sunderlal Bahuguna and 74 others were arrested Tuesday morning as they were agitating against work being resumed at the Tehri dam site.

They have been taken to Narendranagar, Rajiv Nayan Bahuguna told UNI over the telephone.

Last Sunday, 84 people had been arrested.

Rajiv, the son of Sunderlal, said the villagers had not received adequate compensation from the government.

Work on the dam resumed on Sunday after the arrests.

Sunderlal Bahuguna later went on an indefinite fast.

"I have seen a letter written by my father to the district authorities informing them about his indefinite fast," Rajiv said. Agencies
