Supreme Court’s Order on FRA: Tribals Fight Back
Thousands of tribals walked down the streets of the capital on March 2, under the banners of Joint Adivasi Youth Forum and Indian Adivasi Forum, demanding that the Supreme Court withdraw the order that will lead to eviction of 2.26 lakh tribal families from their homes.
In an effort to control the damage done by the order, the Union government filed a plea before the apex court to modify it, following which the Supreme Court put a stay on the order, permitting the states to temporarily withhold the eviction of the tribal families. The next hearing is set for July 10. The tribals, however, are not happy with the stay order. They are demanding a complete withdrawal of the February 13 order.
