Forest officials threaten to throw tribals out of forest land...

Shivrani Goswami from Kanker district of Chhattisgarh says there is a village called Narharpur where there are tribals and non tribals living on forest land from 1996. According to Forest Rights Act they applied for deeds of the land on 2008 but Govt has not responded yet. Now the forest department has dug their land for plantation. Poeple have sent letters to all the authorities but the local forest official is threatening of sending them to jail. For more Shivrani ji can be reached at 09589513030
