A worker walks through a dry fish pond in a field earmarked for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Pen, about 70 km (43 miles) east of Mumbai June 18, 2009. India's hopes of replicating China's export model through tax-free Special Economic Zones have been tripped by the economic crisis and a rising tide of protests from environmentalists and farmers who say the policy is flawed.
