Adivasis denounce eviction notice
Deccan ChronicleKothagudem: Adivasi organisations and social activists are on a protest against the forest department issuing eviction notices to 48 Guttikoya families in Errabodu and the resolution passed by the Bendalapadu grama sabha expelling the community from the hamlet. Adivasi elder Madakam Junnu said, “We are ready to fight and die here.” Leader of nine adivasi sects of Telangana Chunchu Ramarkishna said Adivasis enjoyed the Constitutional right to move anywhere in the country including forest areas. “Notices of the forest officials and the resolution of Bendalapadu gram sabha violated such provisions in the Constitution,” he said. Forest officials tried to take back the podu lands in order to satisfy other persons there.” Social activist K. Ramnarayana said, “It is inhuman to punish innocent Adivasis for the fault of one or two in the sect.
