An Appeal

17.2.2011

Support a long march of literally, 25000 Adivasis from their villages to Mantralaya, Mumbai to demand their legal right to Land, and livelihoods                  

    Dear Friends

         

Adivasis have been residing in forests for generations and their livelihood has been dependent on the forest resources. With physical hardship they have converted the barren land into small agricultural plots to meet their livelihood needs. They have been demanding the title to these  small plots  of land  be converted on their names. Additionally  they have been demanding that their rights over the forests be recognized.

         

          After a prolonged nationwide agitation by People's Organisations and Left progressive parties for nearly 60 years, in 2006 Central Government passed the Forest Rights Act. It was expected that the process adopted would vest land and forest rights in tribals but unfortunately the Administration, especially of Forest Department has put many hurdles in the implementation of the Act.

         

          In Maharashtra 60% of the filed claims (nearly 3lacs) have been rejected. These eviction from their lands. The Organisations working with Tribal's in State and all have Adivasis have therefore  decided to march from there villages  to Mantralya (Mumbai). to press for their demands. About 25000 Adivasis women and men  are epected from to arrive in  Mumbai on evening of 14^th March 2011 with a common demand that the government properly implement the Forest Rights Act and lift  all  hurdles in implementation . They will be in Mumbai up to the night of 16^th March.

         

          In solidarity with the struggle, it is our moral duty to make arrangements for the stay and food in Mumbai city.  As per our calculation, a minimum of Rs.75-80 per person is required to meet the expenses for Three days. We appeal to you to contribute towards this to the maximum extent possible. Kindly, contact regarding the same on phone numbers given below.

         

          We are confident that all progressive parties, trade unions, organizations  and individuals will support this cause.

 

          Thanking You,

With regards,
