LAND GRABBING & EVICTIONS FROM THE PEOPLE'S OWN LAND EVERY CORNER

It was a priviledge to attend the People's Permanent Tribunal[PPT] at 09 places out of 11. This is one of the most heart breaking experiences within this period.
Almost all of the people are displaced due to various reasons, including war, tsunami, development, disasters, land tenure as well as human elephant conflicts. What I experienced here in many places is LAND GRABBING by organized manner.
What can we do as Praja Abilasha and NAFSO is the biggest issue among us.
People say, they are ready to fight. But, it is not so easy to bring them together as our society is not ready to see them as discrimination.
Every body think interest of National Economy and National Security is the prime oncern and all others are secondary.
What we need to do is to aware the people and bring the land coalition strongly and mobilize them towards to claim the rights.
But, how far people come forward is the issue.
But, there are more than enough subject matters are emerging to fight for the rights.
