[Reader-list] Pani Hakk campaign meeting

[Nagraj Adve]

*PANI HAKK ABHIYAN*

5 July 2011



Friends,

The Delhi government, instead of addressing the many existing problems of
access to water by people of Delhi, has resumed its attack on the basic
rights of the working poor by intensifying its drive towards the
privatization of water. Its distribution, metering, billing, etc is being
handed over to large corporates, threatening people’s right to water.



A large collective, Pani Hakk Abhiyan, comprising over 30 organizations,
unions, democratic rights groups, women’s organizations, etc, has been
formed in Delhi to resist this attack and demand the basic right to
adequate, clean and cheap drinking water for all. Three meetings have been
held thus far. The details of a basic campaign are in the process of being
charted out. An initial parcha is being printed.



The next meeting of Pani Hakk Abhiyan is on Saturday, 9 July. The agenda
would include the details of the strategy and specifics of the campaign over
the next few weeks; sharing of any developments or work since the last
meeting; issues arising out of the parcha’s contents, etc.



We would like to underline that this is not any one organization’s
initiative; the Abhiyan seeks to be as inclusive as possible. Please attend,
join in, and inform others.



*Date*: 9 July, Saturday
*Time*: 3 pm

*Venue*: BTR Bhavan, 13-A, Rouse Avenue (near Gandhi Peace Foundation)



In solidarity,
