Panchayat expels primitive tribals from village, No action after complaint!

Bhan Sahu is talking to Agadha Thakur from Chhattisgarh Adivasi Vikas Parishad who tells her that in Gariaband district 40 kms from Dhurwagudi there is a village called Sagada where people from primitive Bhunjia Kamar tribe lives. Yadav caste dominated panchayat of that village has expelled 45 adivasis of 6 families from the village and they are forced to live on their farmland 5 kms from the village after digging a well and making temporary houses. She has complained about it but administration has not taken any action. For more Bhan Ji can be reached at 09425510787
