Land deed under Forest Rights Act not respected by officials

Rajim from Chhattisgarh says tribals have got land in Forest Rights Act but the deeds given under the act are not respected by officials. When a person applies for land leveling work under NREGA that deed is not respected. Tribals are not getting seed or fertilizer against that deed. She speaks to a tribal farmer Parasram Bhoi who asks what is the meaning of this deed if no officer respects it. Will government give us a new deed? For more details please contact 9424215854
