CPI(M) Launches Long March for Tribal and Farmer Demands
The Communist Party of India Marxist (CPI(M)) has organized a big march with thousands of tribals and farmers.
They started from a place called Charoti and are walking to the Palghar district collectorate.
They want the government to fully implement two important laws: the Forest Rights Act and the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas Act (PESA).
These laws are meant to help tribals and farmers.
The marchers plan to sit outside the collectorate until the government promises to meet their demands in writing.
