The ACT has sent a six-member delegation to New Delhi to join three-day "mahadharna" being organised by anti-dam activist Medha Patkar's National Alliance for People's Movement (NAPM) from April 28-30.
The mahadharna is being organised to highlight the adverse effects of dams and hydel power projects across the country including those in Sikkim.
The ACT has been agitating against Dzongu Hydel Project since June 20, 2007.
Patkar had promised to articulate the ACT's demands at the national level and invited the protesters to New Delhi to join the NAPM's dharna and campaign on the environmental issues.
