|February 27, 2026
Hundreds of tribal men and women were dispersed by police near Uttarkanya on Thursday after a protest march turned tense, prompting the use of water cannons, tear gas shells and a baton charge.
The rally, organised by the Janjati Suraksha Manch (JSM), was held to protest against the alleged attack on a tribal family over a land dispute. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, particularly after an assaulted pregnant woman reportedly gave birth prematurely, with the child dying a few days later due to complications linked to the assault.
