Anil Bamne from Bilaspur says he recently went to see some rehabilitated villages from Achanakmar tiger reserve. When he reached the Anganvadi center the assistant told him that they have not received any ration from last 5 months and have got only few ks of puffed rice which they distribute amongst children. He says these people were displaced from their villages inside the tiger reserve promising all support but authorities are giving lame excuses for not helping them.
