Wikipedia Overview
On 3 November 2019, Daman Collector Rakesh Minhas issued a Section 144 order banning assembly of four or more persons, slogan-shouting and the use of loudspeakers across the entire district of Daman, India and ordered the conversion of Government High School, Bhimpore and the Government Sarvottam High School, Moti Daman into 'temporary jails'. This was in response to a land ownership dispute between the local indigenous fishing community and the local administration that had confiscated their land and bulldozed their homes. The ensuing protest resulted with the detention of 70 protesters in the 'temporary jails' and another 8 arrests. Few of the adivasi fisherfolk were rehoused whilst most languished traumatised and homeless on the streets near the rubble of their razed homes.
