After planting Eucalyptus on standing crop forest dept puts case on adivasis

My name is Naresh Bunkar from Adivasi Jan Van Adhikar Manch in Kawardha district of Chhattisgarh. I want to tell you about Baiga and Gond adivasis of village Sajankhar who were farming on forest land from 2001. Last month forest dept planted Eucalyptus trees on the farms by force where adivasis had planted paddy and today forest dept have done a case on adivasis of Rs 1 lakh for destroying plantation. Adivasis have not destroyed any sapling and have replanted them. The number of Ranger who is harrasing adivasis is 09993636257. For more Naresh ji can be reached at 08717872770
