The procession which began from Talbaghan proceeded to Paschimsagar and concluded in front of the Gram Panchayat office.
Addressing the participants in the mass procession, Dr Gouranga Majhi, President, A & N State Committee of All India Kisan Sabha criticized the BJP government at the centre for not considering the demands of the villagers of North Andaman on land issues. He said that implementation of the Supreme Court judgement of 2022 should be preceded by a comprehensive package for the family members who were living in the Forest land prior to 1978 and post 1978. Speaking on the occasion, SR Mridha, Secretary, AIKS, A & N State Committee said that during the last 50- 55 years, members of the families which occupied the Forest land and constructed shelters are increased and displacing such expanded family members and dispossessing the land held by them are unjustified and demanded that the expanded families should be allotted land at the same place where they lived during the last five decades and more. Nikunjo Biswas, Vice President, AIKS State Committee said that the Kisan Sanch will continue to resort to agitations in North and Middle Andaman District demanding justified settlement of land issues of farmers.
