Non-tribals illegally taken tribal land for mining in Gujarat, Complaint dont help
Bilal Qagzi says he met people from Pokhran Village of Sohangarh Taluk in Gujarat where some people have started stone quarries in the village on the land that belongs to the tribals. The blasts from stone quarries release powder and stones which have damaged the crops. He says some Parsi has acquired a lease for 99 years for the land that belongs to the tribals, which is illegal, and this has taken away the primary source of livelhood away from the tribals. He reports even after making numerous complaints at different platforms the authorities have not taken any action to shut down the quarry. For more Bilal Ji can be reached at 09429507017

Bhils played major role in independence but no development in their areas
Ram Singh from Bundi district in Rajasthan is telling us that in Taleda block of the district mostly Bhil adivasis are living, which is also called Bharad. This area has made significant contribution to the independence movement but hardly there is any development in the area. The mining policy is such that all the mines are owned by outsiders who are cheating the locals. Samata Judgement is also not applicable here. For more Ram Singh Ji can be reached at 9414040352
