Tribal leader Umang Singhar criticised the Madhya Pradesh government in Balaghat, citing tribal child deaths, ration wastage and grievances of project‑affected families ahead of Rahul Gandhi's visit.
Tribal leader and local representative Umang Singhar addressed a gathering in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, raising serious concerns about the recent deaths of tribal children in the district. He linked these tragedies to systemic neglect and called for immediate justice for the affected families.
Singhar also highlighted the ongoing TET movement, pointing out that ration supplies are being wasted while many tribal households struggle to obtain basic food items. He urged the state administration to stop the misuse of resources and to ensure that essential supplies reach those in need.
In addition, the leader drew attention to families displaced by development projects, demanding compensation and rehabilitation. He warned that heavy‑handed tactics would only deepen mistrust between the government and tribal communities.
His statements came just days before senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit Balaghat, a trip expected to focus on tribal welfare and regional development. No official response from the state government has been recorded yet.
