Giridhari Patra Ji says in Niyamgiri hills in Odissa there are no health facilities and it is hard to find any tribal who is above the age of 45. Because there are no roads on the hill so no govt doctor wants to go up there. He says few days back when he went to the hill he found 2 TB patients and brought them down. But the collector says the patients do not have any BPL cards so they can not be helped. He demands regular health services for the tribals in Niyamgiri hills.

हम मेहनत करने वाले जब दुनिया में अपना हक मांगेंगे
तब एक ज़मीन का टुकड़ा नहीं, एक देश नहीं हम पूरी दुनिया मांगेंगे

जिन पर्वतों में हीरा है, जिन सागरों में मोती है
वह सारी संपत्ति हमारी है, हम सारा संपत्ति मांगेंगे..

हम मेहनत करने वाले........

जिसका खून बहा है वह शहीद हुआ,
जिसका संसार उजड़ा वह बंदी हुआ,
हम सब हत्या और अत्याचार का जवाब मांगेंगे....
हम मेहनत करने वाले जब दुनिया में अपना हक मांगेंगे
तब एक ज़मीन का टुकड़ा नहीं, एक देश नहीं हम पूरी दुनिया मांगेंगे
