Adivasi activists, including women, from Jainoor in Kumram Bheem Asifabad district on Wednesday sub- mitted representations to mandal parishad develop- ment ocer (MPDO) Banoth Datha Ram and tahsildar Ve- dama Bhujang Rao urging Lambada ocials and staff not to come to their village on ocial duty. The activists urged Mr. Datha Ram, himself a Lam- bada, and some 15 other con- tract employees working in the Mahatma Gandhi Nation- al Rural Employment Gua- rantee Scheme and village revenue ocers to honour the resolution passed in their gram sabha and not to visit their village on duty. The representations were a copy of the gram sabha re- solution under Article 244 (1), V Schedule, para 13 (C) and Administrative rule 1935 which purportedly give the power of self rule to aborigi- nal tribes in their villages. The aboriginal people had resolved not to let Lambada employees working in 29 de- partments come to their village. Kumra Shankar, Jainoor divisional president of the Adivasi Hakkula Porata Sa- mithi, also known as Tudum Debba, told newsmen that the ethnic people had no faith in ocials and em- ployees belonging to Lamba- da community. “We are being discrimi- nated against in MGNREGS works,” he charged.
