Chita Andolan Returns as Panna Villagers Protest on Funeral Pyres
The Chita Andolan protest has resumed in Madhya Pradesh's Panna district, with displaced tribal villagers lying on funeral pyres and enduring harsh conditions for compensation. The agitation, now in its 20th day, faces rain, waterlogging, police lathicharge, and administrative apathy. Activist Amit Bhatnagar, on hunger strike and Jai Kisan Sangathan leader, was arrested amid claims of police harassment and intimidation tactics against protesters.
