Preceding the rally, a
village level meeting with AYSV and the local community
leaders took place to organise the event. Wall writing and
dissemination of leaflets and pamphlets also took place in
the region. The people were motivated through the rally as
this was the first ever visit for most of the mica workers
at the district town of Giridih. They collectively
submitted the memorandum to the DDC of the district and
also raised their concern with their local leader and the
MP, Mr. Babulal Marandi at the latter’s village at Kodobag
and handed over the written appeal to solve their
problems.
This rally was also an eye opener for most of the local
resident of the district town. Wide press coverage was
given to this event in the newspapers and the local TV
channels where the mica child labourers narrated their
problems and the exploitation at the hand of the local
police and the forest department.
The DDC was explained of the problem in the mica regions
of Tisri and Gawan Blocks. He has assured to look into the
problems and also to facilitate the process of effective
implementation of government schemes and proper
coordination with administration and the local people. |
