Narayanpatna, a tribal dominated area in Orissa’s Koratpur district, is once again on the boil.
It was just in 2009, that Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh, an organisation believed to be a frontal body of Maoists, was involved in a land-grab movement that shocked the rest of the state.
In July 2009, the organisation had forcibly taken over 2000 acres of land, owned by non-tribals, forcing 400 Dalit families to flee.
Now, after a year’s lull, Nachika Linga, the leader of the Sangh and its members have resurfaced in the tribal landscape of Narayanpatna
