Pahadi Korwa primitive tribes not geting land under forest rights in Chhattisgarh

My name is Omprakash Baghel. We are from Pahadi Korwa primitive adivasi community. I am calling from Kumardha and Barghat villages in Dharmajaigarh block of Raigarh dsitrict of Chhattisgarh. We have applied for land deeds under Forest rigths act but that has got rejected at block level saying we already have land deeds which is not correct. I request you to help us according to the law and the officials to be punished who are harrassing us. In our block no new forms are available either for individual or community application.For more Baghel Ji can be reached at 07354865276
