The Jal Satyagraha protest in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh, India, is an ongoing protest by residents of Gogalgaon village, and neighboring hamlets, that involves them remaining immersed in the waters of the Narmada River[1]. The protest concerns the government decision to raise the water-level of the Omkareshwar Dam. The residents of low-lying villages, who have been affected by the resultant flooding, feel that sufficient assistance has not been provided to them by the Government of India[2].
