Baigas march 62 kms in 3 days to meet but Collector has more pressing work!

My name is Naresh Bunkar. I am calling from Adivasi Jan Van Adhikar Manch. Yesterday Baiga adivasis reached collectorate in Kawardha after walking 62 kms in 3 days but Collector was not present. Collector was informed about the rally in advance. When Baigas refused to meet lower officials, Collector met them after an hour where they presented their demands including compensation for planting Eucalyptus on adivasi lands and proper implementation of forest rights act. For more Bunkar Ji can be reached at 08720822286
