Is Naveen Patnaik Government's transparent image at stake now?

Opposition Parties of Orissa demand action on the basis of Saxena Committee Report: Opposition party leaders of Orissa believe that Saxena Committee report is a blue print of corruptions made during BJD rule under Naveen Patnaik. ‘The state government and its officials are caught red handed by the Saxena Committee for giving wrong and manipulated information to the centre and to the people as well. The transparent image of the government has been proved to be an illusion with the remarks made by the committee in the report. Knowing that the Vedanta Project is going to affect the tribal communities largely by displacing thousands of tribal families and their livelihood source ‘Niyamgiri’ would be destroyed for ever, neither the administration nor the concerned departments gave a second thought to pursue the deal with Vedanta Company. Now they are all exposed’, says senior Congress Leader and MLA Santosh Singh Saluja. >>> Read More

Primitive Tribals ready to take arms to Save their god 'NiyamRaja': The thick forest cover on the Niyamgiri hill range of Orissa is unique for the variety of flora and fauna and the wildlife that finds a suitable habitation opportunity in it. But for the government and the London based Vedanta Company, this thick vegetation, the wildlife and the bondage between tribal communities and the Niyamgiri hill do not make any sense except the bauxite the hill has in its belly. The company and a corporate loving Orissa government are so allured with the huge bauxite reserved inside the hill range that they do not bother to displace thousands of tribal families living in and around the hill range, destroying the unique thick green cover. And, to pursue the heinous agenda in the name of development, police and local administration has been repressive on the members of Dongria, Jernia and other tribal communities who are opposing to the mining project. >>> Read More

Life between Cry and Agony - Facts from the Red Corridor: If Maoist movement has become the greatest internal threat to India, the operation started by the government to curb the armed rebellion has endangered the communities living in the forests and the so called Red Corridor. The situation is becoming worse than before as the forces deployed to curb Maoist rebels have become the major troublemaker to the innocent people. The civil rights and opportunities to live life peacefully are almost seized. Anybody raising a voice to safeguard the rights is outright termed as a Maoist Rebel or a supporter. Either by the Maoist rebels or the Security forces, reign of terror continues to suppress the voice of people and communities living in the Naxal affected areas. By Gladson Dungdung >>> Read More
