Peace committee wants ban on CMAS KORAPUT, 16 SEPT: Members of the peace committee, which organised a meeting at Semiliguda today notwithstanding alleged threat calls, demanded that the state government should ban organisations like Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) and restrict them from holding rallies, carrying traditional arms in public.
The committee, in a memorandum addressed to the Governor, also exhorted the government to take action against those who encourage the violent actions of CMAS.
Speaking at the meeting at Semiliguda, zilla parishad president Mr Ashok Kumar Pangi further alleged that some external elements from outside the state play a major role in creating unrest in Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon. "Stringent action should be initiated against all such elements," Mr Pangi demanded.
While suggesting few steps in a bid to bring peace to the entire region and to check the movement of CMAS from spreading its tentacles into other parts in the district, the members of the committee demanded that the district administration take steps to rehabilitate the people who had lost their houses and land due to the conflict in Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon blocks in the recent past.
The committee has further alleged that the situation had got worse due to the lack of timely action by the district administration to contain the devastating moves by CMAS.
While the district administration was unable to act against CMAS, it was showing unnecessary urgency in implementing the 3(B) Act for restoration of tribal land in the region, the members alleged. The committee urged the state government to allow some more time before forcing the Act as people are still unaware of the Act.
With Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh are allegedly issuing threat calls, many members of peace committee spent last night in fear and anxiety.sns |
