The village of Sujatpura was almost completely submerged when water gushed out of the canal, which diverts water from the Narmada River. The 20-year campaign against dam projects on the river is described by campaign group International Rivers as one of the largest social movements in the world.<\/p>\n

"Initially, it was a crack," Express India reported a local official as saying. "However, by around 9am [on Wednesday] it developed into a
\nmajor breach and water started rushing into the nearby villages."<\/p>\n

Environmental activist Rohit Prajapati said that this was the third major breach in the canal. He accused the government of
\nunaccountability and poor-quality inspection procedures, saying NGO experts, civil society and media representatives should be included in
\npublic inquiries about the canal.<\/p>\n
