My name is Dilip Behera. I am calling from village Temri, thana Paikmal, district Bargarh, Odisha. We are part of historic Gandhamardan anti mining struggle from 80s. We lost two friends Madhab Singh Thakur and Ramesh Sahu on 27th December 2010 when police killed them by calling them Maoists in false encounter. We have raised a memorial for them and remember them on that day. Please speak to Govt to help hapless families of both. Dilip@09937789593
