Kanha officials harassing, Will give lives, Wont give land, say adivasi women

Mohan Yadav is visiting Mandla district in MP where he meets Suganti Baigin from Balaghat district who tells him that 9 of them applied for Forest Rights act but only 3 got it and rest are very sad. She says people from Kanha National Park are harassing them to leave their village. She says what will Rs 10 lakh do for us. Our lives and future is dependent on land. They shout slogans and sing song saying we will give lives but wont leave our land. Mohan@9479598133
