We came here from Orissa.We are doing poddu ( shifting) cultivation in forest. Forest officers harass us. The old people from this area are also giving us trouble and they want to take over the land we have prepared.From the government we want ration cards. We also want an anganvadi center and school. For our village there are no roads. For more Idamaraj Ji can be reached at 07893716622
