Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) spearheading the cause of forest-dwelling tribals living in and around Mysuru district have urged the State Government to take measures for the rehabilitation of 3,418 tribal families failing which they have threatened to approach the court.
The crux of the issue revolves around an order of the High Court of Karnataka delivered more than 7 years ago in which it directed the State to rehabilitate the 3,418 tribal families who were displaced or suffered injustice during the implementation of various development projects.
Though the NGOs have time and again approached the Government to implement the court orders, their plea has been greeted with a deafening silence so far.
