I HE murder of an Adivasi woman has reopened old wounds in Odisha's Malkangiri.
-
The state's southernmost district faced chaos when a large group of Adivasi community members marched into MV-26, one of the villages created under the Dandakaranya project, and set ablaze the houses of Bengali refugees on Sunday. The arson continued the next day despite a suspect's arrest. Timely action could have prevented the crisis, which had been building up since the woman went missing on December 1 and her decapitated body was found three days later. Police action not only came late, but was insufficient to calm the crowd that went on the rampage right in front of top officials. Prohibitory orders have been clamped and internet access restricted.
