Tribals rally against 'government inaction'

-The Times of India

 

More than 8,000 tribals, armed with traditional weapons, participated in a demonstration organized in front of the office of the Balangir collector on Friday. They criticized the government for taking no action against fake tribal certificate holders.

They went round the Balangir town in a rally before coming to the collector office. Security was beefed up in the town in view of the agitation. The agitators submitted a memorandum to the government in this regard. They warned the government of boycotting the panchayat and assembly elections, if no action is taken.

"We submitted a memorandum to the government through the collector demanding immediate action in various issues including fake tribals. We have submitted a list of more than 1200 cases of fake tribals in entire western Odisha, which includes 357 cases from Balangir district only. Till date only 31 cases have been disposed," Niranjan Bishi, secretary general of the western Odisha Adivasi Kalyan Mahasangha said. According to him, tribals are deprived of getting government facilities because of the fake tribals, who enjoy the benefits unlawfully.
