Solution

The correct option is A Sahyadri Mining Protest Forum
Sahyadri Mining Protest Forum, a movement to oppose the mining operation in Kudremukh and the surrounding areas was started by the local people to save the Western Ghats and the Bhadra river. The Central government had started an iron-ore processing unit. Due to this, the Bhadra river got polluted at its source itself. As a result of this struggle, the government was forced to take certain environmental protection measures.
