*State evicting Adivasis at Aralam: AGM * Special Correspondent KANNUR: Accusing the State government of "caste discrimination" against Adivasis, the Adivasi Gothra Mahasabha (AGM) has threatened to launch a stir from July 9 to highlight its demand for ending the "discriminatory approach" towards tribal families. Alleging that there was an undeclared eviction of Adivasis from the Aralam Farm in a bid to hand over half of its land to a new company to be constituted for running the farm, AGM president C.K. Janu and Rashtriya Mahasabha general secretary M. Geethanandan said at a press meet here on Saturday that the removal of electric fencing that divided the Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary and the farm land inhabited by Adivasi families was part of a conspiracy to evict Adivasis from the farm. Many Adivasi families settled in the farm as part of a rehabilitation package had been forced to leave owing to shortage of facilities, they said. These families would stage 'gothra pooja' and organise a cultural gathering in front of the collectorate here on July 9. Simultaneously, an indefinite stir would begin in front of the Adivasi Rehabilitation Mission office in Thiruvanathapuram, they said. -- Dileep R I thuravoor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
