Historically, the Indigenous peoples living on these lands have shown resistance to development, and oppose any new bauxite mining projects in the area. This has led to violent conflicts between Indigenous communities and police.<ref name="Padel-2015" /> On December 16, 2000, police killed three Indigenous protestors and wounded over a dozen more during a protest over a bauxite project in the [[Rayagada district]] of [[Odisha]].<ref name="Padel-2015" />
