Tribals protest municipal limits extension in Jamshedpur
1 2 3 Jamshedpur: The Scheduled Tribes (STs) community living on the periphery of the Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC), Mango Notified Area Committee (MNAC), and Jugsalai Municipal Council (JMC) staged a demonstration at the DC office on Tuesday opposing the govt's proposal to extend the command limits of the three municipal bodies and include the panchayat areas. Representatives of different social and religious outfits, besides panchayat heads and traditional village heads, among others, said that the culture, customs, and rural lifestyle of the adivasis would be compromised with the inclusion of the panchayats in the municipal limits. "Several tribal families in the villages own 10 bighas of ancestral land on average. The holding tax of the municipality will cause a heavy financial burden on the modest earning families," said Mukhiya Sangh general secretary, Kanhu Murmu. Further, the agitating crowd claimed that the whole of Jamshedpur comes under the Fifth Scheduled Area of the Constitution, and in the past, a large part of the land was acquired by the govt for the purpose of setting up industries and developing a planned city without taking into confidence the heads of gram panchayats of that time. "Whatever land we are having in the panchayats will not be parted with the govt for the extension of the municipality," said Majhi Baba Sangh president Ramesh Murmu. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Notably, the JNAC and JMC completed the satellite survey of the six panchayats earlier in April this year, while MNAC is yet to finish it. Presently, the process of determining the extended boundaries of the municipal areas of Jamshedpur and Jugsalai is ongoing ahead of submitting the report to the urban development department. "The purpose is to provide better municipal facilities to the people living in the areas identified for inclusion in the municipality," said a senior JNAC official, requesting anonymity in the wake of the increasing protest against the proposal. The agencies have identified Moharda, Harlung, and Ghorabandha panchayats for JNAC and Bagbera and Kitadih for the JMC, respectively.
