Huge Tribal Rally hits Chhattisgarh city

     Raipur, Feb 27, 2010: A large number of tribals today took out a huge rally highlighting their plight and demanding reservation for ST in elected offices.

     The gathering demands stop in curtail of the rights of tribals in Chhattisgarh and also reservation for them in the posts in Panchayat and urban local bodies.

     They also demanded 32 per cent reservation for tribals in government services.
