Raipur, 14th Oct. Tribals of Bastar met Governor Ms. Anusuiya Uikey. This group of tribals walking from Bastar reached the doors of Raj Bhavan today and expressed their desire to meet the Governor. They had not taken any time from the Raj Bhavan in the past, but when Governor Uikey got this information, she directed the officials to call them inside the Raj Bhavan without following any prescribed procedure and seated them respectfully and listened to their woes.

The delegation urged the Governor to make Bastar and other Nagar Panchayats as Gram Panchayats again. They said that these Nagar Panchayats were earlier Gram Panchayats. They are facing inconvenience due to the formation of Nagar Panchayat. Therefore, they should be made Gram Panchayat again.

The Governor said that Gram Panchayats should not be made Nagar Panchayats under the Fifth Schedule. All the legal aspects of the Gram Panchayats which have been made Nagar Panchayats are being studied and necessary action will be taken on them as per rules. She said that the world famous Dussehra festival, the main festival of tribals, is being organized. It is the cultural identity of Bastar. Celebrate this festival together. I am also coming to Bastar to participate in this.

A large number of tribals including former Union Minister Arvind Netam, former MP Sohan Potai, MLA Shishupal Shori were present on the occasion.
