CHENGARA UPDATE - October 2008
CHENGARA UPDATE - October 2008
Urgent attention is drawn to the critical situation at Chengara. There is stringent poverty and spread of water- born diseases. The resultant is decrease in strength for the group to sustain the struggle.
The District Collector was making his position clear; we had given instruction to the DMO Pathanamthitta to organise weekly two medical camps at Chengara. But this is not being carried out. There are other forces at work. The political parties in power and their District leaders are more powerful than the District Collector. The CPM and the Trade Unions have worked out efficient strategy so that using there political power and influence under cover of the charge that the encroachers are obstructing work to the labourers .They have been dictating terms to the workers .This Basic Human rights of food , mobility and medicine are denied. Secretary of the Sadhujana Vimochana Samyuktha Vedi Ms. Selina Prakkanam along with scores of women and men are sick and admitted in the district hospital.
The LDF Government is keeping a criminal silence over the issue. It goes on making public Statements that it will give land and house to the landless people. They continue to state that they have no land for distribution. The government is party to the scheme to keep the people at Chengara in hunger and disease. The numbers will decrease the struggle will gradually die down, the government hopes so they will not have to deal with the struggle at all. They have the watch dogs the goons of the Harrison and Trade Union leaders.
The situation demands urgent attention from friends.
