|May 15, 2025
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought an action-taken report (ATR) from the Chief Secretaries of Odisha and Jharkhand regarding issues of displacement, tribal land alienation, deforestation, and the overall impact on tribal populations caused by prolonged inaction and negligence by state authorities.
While hearing a plea filed by human rights activist Radhakanta Tripathy, the commission Tuesday directed the authorities to submit the ATR within 15 days.
In his petition, Tripathy highlighted the severe and long-standing impact of tribal land alienation in both states, affecting more than one lakh tribal individuals.
