Brokers bought our land for company for Rs 700 an acre!

A caller from Mandu block in Ramgarh district of Jharkhand is telling us about precarious situation of a village which has come inside the boundary walls of a factory and the villagers are dependent on the factory guards for going out or inside. The company has bought most of the land with the help of brokers and some have sold their land in Rs 700 per acre. No one has got any job in the factory and many have not got proper compensation. They have started an agitation from a month but not many are listening. For more the caller can be reached at 09279765066
