Adivasis of 40 villages in and around the Kawal wildlife sanctuary, which was recently notified as a tiger reserve by the state government, have started passing unanimous resolutions against the reserve. Adivasi leaders argue that notifying a tiger reserve without the consent of local Adivasis was unilateral and against the Panchayat Raj Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA). They are also demanding, in their resolutions, that state government cancel GO No. 27, notifying the reserve. Adivasi organisations are planning to file a PIL in the AP High Court against the reserve, based on the resolutions being passed in village meetings. Leaders of the Adivasi Sankshema Parishad (ASP) are conducting meetings in villages and creating awareness about the consequences of the establishment of the reserve. So far, unanimous resolutions were passed in village meetings (gram sabhas) in seven villages. Speaking to this newspaper, Sunnam Venkataramana, general secretary, ASP, alleged that the state government was conspiring to evacuate Adivasis from 40 villages that come under the tiger Reserve zone. He said that notifying the reserve was unilateral and against PESA, 1998 and 1/70 Act (land transfer) in the Agency. He said that a village resolution was must to take up any project in the agency under PESA but state government had not conducted gram sabhas before notifying the reserve. Several Adivasi organisstions have been staging dharnas, rasta rokos in the district, especially in the Agency, and submitting memorandum to officials including R. Mutyalaraju, project officer of ITDA, Utnoor.
