Gramsabha conducted defying insurgent threat, Wont give land for mining...
Sunil Verma from Ranchi is telling us about Gram Sabha in Jala village in Balumath block of Latehar district. Three times before when villagers tried to assemble for Gram Sabha they were threatened by insurgent group Tritiya Prastuti Committee, a breakaway faction of Maoists allegedly on behalf of companies. Today villagers have sent a proposal to authorities that they will not give 456 hectare of forest land to companies for mining. For more Sunil Ji is at 09199533265
