No Tendu compensation to Baiga widow from 2 years...

Anil Bamne from Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh is telling us about widow of Bir Singh Baiga who died two years ago while collecting Tendu leaf. According to Govt laws the widow should get a compensation of Rs 10,000 but she is running pillar to post from last 2 years and no one had helped her. Baiga is a primitive tribe and Govt has many special welfare programs for this tribe but this story probably tells about Govt attitude. For more Anil Ji can be reached at 09977161570
