Surendra Hanspal is reporting from a village called Sandi Bangla 55 kms north of Raipur in Chhattisgarh. He says a year back on 25th April 2011 I had reported about a movement in this village against a liquor shop and I am very glad to report that after a year the govt has not given license to that shop this year and people are very happy. Now people who want to drink have to travel long distance. The villagers want to thank CGnet Swara for raising their voice. For more Hanspal ji can be reached 9425202442

Anil Bamne from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh says couple of weeks back I had reported about non functioning of Anganwadi centers in adivasi villages inside Achanakmar tiger reserve. After the report the offials did a inspection and found the anganwadis to be closed in two villages and food was stored in the house of a govt official. The food has now been shifted to Anganwadi for use of the children and this action has improved the functioning of other nearby centers. He thanks the officials for their prompt action.

Khuturam Sunani says a headmaster in Koraput school had allegedly raped a 14 year old student but 10 days after the police report and complaint to district collector there was no action but administration was trying to hush up the matter. I had sent the message on Swara with phone numbers of police officers that day and after phone calls the headmaster was arrested the next day. It should be investigated why police did not act for 10 days. For more Sunani ji can be reached at 09437657625
