We have nothing to eat, we are eating leaves from forest, please help us...
My name is Vetti Nanda. I am calling from Konta in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh. Today I came to know about this number that’s why I am calling you. In our taluk surroundings villages bore wells are not working well. Nothing is there to eat, we are eating green leafs. Ration shops are not giving rice. Tendu leaf bonus has not been released by the government. We have so many problems. No one is solving our problems.Government welfare activates are not reaching our people. If we want welfare activates we need to give money to brokers. We are very poor Tribal people, how can we give them money? We are in trouble, we have no money. In villages no roads and lights. Some Anganvadi and schools teachers are not available. Please think about our life. For more Nandu ji can be reached at 09550042562
