My name is Sarita Devi. I am calling from Janipur of Simra Gram Panchayat in Dilawarnagar of Mohamadi tehsil in district Kheri of Uttar Pradesh. Forest department took away our forest land in 2005 which we should get back according to Forest law of 2006. All the details have been given to Collector. We have started our agitation and will not stop till we get out land. You are requested to call Collector at 09454417558. For more Sarita Ji can be reached at 08765645996

Amirlal Dhritlahare from Chhattisgarh is telling us that today a Maha Panchayat was arranged on the bank of river Mahanadi where many villagers have decided to oppose the construction of barrage to divert water by pipeline to companies. They also forced the work to stop. People said till Govt does not listen to people’s demands the work on Mahanadi barrage will not be allowed. For more Dhritlahare Ji can be reached at 07489471875

एक नन्ही सी कली, धरती पर खिली
लोग कहने लगे पराई है पराई
जब तक कली ये डाली से लिपटी रही
आँचल मे मुँह छिपा कर, दूध पीती रही
फूल बनी धागे मे पिरोई गई
किसी के गले में हार बनते ही
टूट कर बिखर गई
ताने सुनाये गये दहेज में क्या लाई है
पैरों से रौन्दी गई
सोफा मार कर घर से निकाली गई
कानून और समाज से माँगती रही न्याय
अनसुनी कर उसकी बातें
धज्जियाँ उड़ाई गई
अंत में कर ली उसने आत्महत्या
दुनिया से मुँह मोड़ लिया
वह थी
एक गरीब माँ बाप की बेटी.

Instead of taking action against the accused and filing an FIR, the police simply offered to get a 6 year old treated after she was raped. Sarita Gautam from NACDOR in Allahabad is questioning if this is all that can be done? She says she is giving 2 days to police to take action otherwise she will be forced to go to court. She says if you find any such case anywhere and need help please call her at 09721813108

Sarita Gautam from Allahabad says earlier this month on 3rd September in Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh a Dalit student was beaten up by a teacher when he touched the drinking water. When I called up the Superitendent of Police and also the nearby police station they did not give me any proper reply. Then I told them that I will go to police headquarter then they have assured me to check and let me know the details. For more Sarita ji can be reached at 09721813108
