Human Rights Watch reported that from 1994 the Dabhol Power Company paid the state government Rs 125 per officer per day for police stationed at the site under Section 47 of the Bombay Police Act, with between 10 and 300 officers there at any time. In June 1995 the Los Angeles Times reported 200 police assigned to guard workers at the site. Amnesty reported that a 100-strong State Reserve Police battalion was deployed after the 30 January 1997 protests. The company said that by law it had to offset the cost of the extra police and that it had "no authority over their actions". [1][2][3][4][5]
