It is good news that people of Tentulipadar village (who had been tortured by Forest officials for decades) of Kiapadar GP in Thuamul Rampur block got title for forest land as provisioned under FRA-2006 after a long fight of more than 30 years. ANTODAYA continue to stand with the villagers since 1995 and fought for asserting rights of the villagers.
Recently they have received title over community forest and now the Individual titles. Efforts put by our team members of that time, especially Rabinarayan Singh, Chakradhar Pujhari, Sanjeeb Kumar Satapathy, and Advocate friends Shri Sudhanshu Kumar Nanda, Shri Dibya Ranjan Bohidar and Shri Debendranath Bag brought colours after a long
ANTODAYA had facilitated the villagers to fight for their cause at different forums including High court of Orissa, National Human Rights Commission, District Court and many more
But it is unfortunate that, today's administration has been sidelining the past efforts and giving credibility to some other people who jumped into the job recently after getting contract from Odisha Government
Still we feel proud that, people of Tentulipadar are not encroachers now, they are TITLE HOLDERS under FRA-2006
