Sorry to trouble you again and again. We are in a desperate struggle.
It was raining for a few days here.It pains to see the drenched huts.It also pains to see the land which the adivasis cultivated for almost two decades being sown by the State farming Corporation. Paradoxically thousands of acres of land under the management of the state farming corporation are lying fallow in this vicinity.
The people are living in pathetic condition. Their huts are in bad shape becuase they lost even the banboos of their huts in the brutal demolition.Our efforts to stay the sowing operation by the Corporation got delayed.The case will go to court only by Monday.
Writ petition against the amendment of Ceiling Act is filed by Mihir Desai in Bombay High Court.
We are on a hunger strike from 6th of October onwards at Rahata Tahasil office..Could you please send appeal to the Chief Minister to asking him look into our demands.A sample letter is attached.The letter should reach him on Monday.
Could you please share this with other people of your network and request them to send appeals.
Only four are sitting for hunger strike because of prohibitory orders.I will be going on a hunger strike at Rahata from Wednesday onwards if our demands are not met by then.I am giving notice to that effect on Tuesday.
John
