Mining is destroying trees important for tribal economy...

Mangal Kunjam is telling us from Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh that due to ongoing mining the trees like Imli, Mahua are getting finished in the area. He says forest department only cares for trees like Teak and Eucalyptus. He says adivasis have not got jobs in the mining and depend on these trees for their income. The continuous mining is also destroying their water sources. For more Mangal can be reached at 09407708515
