Former MlA Girnath Singh alleged that the postman scheme being run for delivering food grains to the doorsteps of tribal community has completely failed in the district which is leading people of the primitive tribes depriving food on time.
"Because of this, people are dying due to malnutrition," claimed the leader during a press conference held in Ranka on Wednesday.
He said that on October 20, the death of lalita Kunwar, widow of Chaita Korwa, a resident of Sherasam village of the block, was due to lack of food grains in her house. The former MlA claimed that lalita Kunwar has no ration card. Her name is attached with her mother, Fulkumari Devi's card who is mentally abnormal.
"The district administration has crossed the limit of negligence in Gadhwa district. After her death death, grains of two months has been given to her daughter on October 24. This situation is when the BDO itself is in charge of the MO and SDO, DSO."
He demanded to the district administration for admission of the son of deceased lalita Kunwar , in the Primitive Tribal School, Kuduram and her daughter Kavita Kumari in Kasturba Vidyalaya.
