Chandrakant from Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh says the road work to reach some Baiga adivasi villages under Pradhanmatri Gram Sadak Yojna was supposed to be completed by 2011 but the work on the roads have not started yet after 2 years. The adivasis need to travel the distances through hills in absense of road and complaints to the officials against the contractors have not helped. For more Chandrakant can be reached at 09755361770

Chandrakant Yadav from Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh is telling us that Govt has made special provisions for Baiga tribals like no sterlisation etc so that the dwindling number of the tribe is improved. But on the other hand no health facilities are provided to these people and they die of preventable diseases like diarrhea every monsoon. The same has started with death of a young Baiga this week and many are suffering who are dependent on quacks. For more Yadav Ji can be reached at 079364847
