Impact: Officials return bribe money to Baiga adivasis after report on Swara

My name is Naresh Bunkar. I am from Adivasi Jan Van Adhikar Manch in Pandaria block of Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh. I had reported about an official charging Rs 200 from each Baiga adivasi family in Kandavani village fraudulently for giving ration cards. Within a week of the report officials visited the area and found the complaint to be correct and have asked the official to return the money. Though adivasis have got the money and we thank friends from Swara for that but the ration dealer is still giving less rice and selling all the sugar faudulently which needs checking.
