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.
