Govt removing people by force to give land to IIM Ranchi
Aloka Kujur is reporting live from outside Ranchi where adivasis are protesting against government effort to take away 227 acre of land for Indian Institute of Management. Govt had started procurement process for this land in 1965 but no construction started so many tribals were using the land for their livelihood and were also paying tax. Now Govt is trying to remove them by force. For more Aloka can be reached at 09430194872
