Abstract

The composure on Pratima Dutta’s face defies what she has endured. Rummaging through a pile of photographs, she takes out one where a girl is walking through a lane submerged in rainwater mixed with sewage. The photograph was taken a few years ago by Pratima’s husband Tapan Dutta near their house. Tapan had meticulously collected evidence of how a consortium of contractors, Bengal Anmol South City Infrastructure Ltd, was illegally filling a 280-hectare (ha) wetland near Kolkata.
