Bhan Sahu from Rajnandgaon reports that 15,190 tribal people from 104 villages in Mohla, Chowki and Manpur blocks have been campaigning under the leadership of Jan Shakti organisation from last few years but have not got any rights for their land. Many people were fined for using that forest land before Forest Rights Act came into existence
