Many questions on rehabilitation from Achanakmar tiger reserve

Praful Chandel from Chhattisgarh says government is displacing 43 villages from Achanakmar tiger reserve in Bilaspur district. Many non tribal residents and forest department is misguiding tribals with the rehabilitation package. 6 villages have been rehabilitated so far but he questions if government will be able to do the same for rest of the villages. He also questions if government displaces tribals from their forest then is it not against the basic reason of this state being created?
