Authorities illegally demolish houses on village forest land

Prakash Gupta from Surguja in Chhattisgarh says authorities have demolished houses of some poor dalits and adivasis built on forest land in a village. According to Forest Rights Act no action is allowed in forest land without permission from Central Ministry of forest. These people were living on the forest land for sometime and authorities accept that they have broken these houses under pressure from powerful people.
