Summary:
"The tribal people of the state have undergone tremendous loss since industrialization began in erstwhile Bihar and now they are not willing to suffer any more, the tribal leader said. Jamshedpur: Veteran tribal leader and former MP Salkhan Murmu said on Monday that the state government's attempt to invite investors to set up industries will have an adverse effect on the ecology of the region. "While mineral resources are being exploited at a rapid rate, trees are being uprooted to set up industrial hubs which is affecting the environment negatively," Murmu said. The governor Droupadi Murmu has allowed him to present his case on February 14, he added. "The speedy amendments in the Chotanagpur Tenancy (CNT) and Santhal Pargana Tenancy (SPT) laws is aimed at gifting the mineral resources to the capitalists and corporate companies," Murmu said, accusing the 28 tribal MLAs of being equally responsible for allowing the government to amend the tenancy laws..
