Why are tribals protesting by lying on funeral pyres in MP?

Tribals in MP's Chhatarpur and Panna are protesting by lying on mock funeral pyres against their forced displacement due to the Ken-Betwa River Link Project. The Daudhan dam will submerge eight centuries-old villages and displace 16 more, threatening their livelihoods and culture. Villagers seek fair compensation and rehabilitation, as only 40% families received ₹12.5 lakh and no land-for-land compensation.
