Road congregated at Akra Bhatta to show a support for the establishment
of village republics (Gaon Ganrajya). This sammelan was a combination

Several tribal leaders and BBAVM members addressed the whole crowd
about Gaon Ganrajya, BBAVM, Tendupatta Cooperative Society, Ekal
Naari Shakti Sangthan, Employment Guarantee Act, Right to Information
Act and Jangal Jameen.

response of the tribals on establishing self-rule in their villages.

were told in detail.
