At Kharagoda in Surendranagar district of Gujarat, the entry point to the Little Rann of Kutch region, the salt farmers stood in ankle deep water in their salt pans, holding placards as they announced their decision to boycott local body elections as mark of protest. They claimed, each year excess water from Narmada is released in the area destroying their produce. The salt production has gone down by 40% in the past five years due to flooding of the salt pans.
