BHUBANESWAR: After a few months
lull, the tribals of Gajapati district came out with full strength to occupy 22
acres of disputed land ploughed by Tibetan refugees at Saura Padar in
Chandragiri area of the district.
Around 3000 irate tribals on
Tuesday gathered at Chandragiri village to protest the Tibetans’ supremacy to
keep the disputed land in their possession. They termed the Tibetans as
encroachers who grow maize after forcefully acquiring the land.
The tribals vowed to bring back the
land to their possession and entered to the land to acquire, but later returned
after intervention of the district administration and the police. The district
administration assured the tribals to solve the problem within seven days.
The tribals led by Adivasi Dalit
Vikas Samiti, CPI (M) and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) said that
they would again stage rally and occupy the land forcefully if the
administration fails to solve their problems.
