Adivasi Groups Call for Adilabad Bandh on July 21st
Imagine a new rule was made about protecting tigers in a forest.
This rule, called GO 49, creates a special protected area for tigers between two reserves.
Some people, called Adivasis, who live nearby, are worried that this new rule will make it harder for them to live there.
They've decided to protest by not going to work or opening businesses on July 21st.
They want the government to change the rule because they think it will hurt their way of life.
Even a local politician agrees with them and wants everyone to support the protest.
Adivasi groups called for a bandh in Adilabad district on July 21.
The bandh protests Government Order 49 regarding a tiger corridor.
GO 49 designates a conservation reserve between two tiger reserves.
Adivasis believe GO 49 threatens their survival and livelihoods.
An MLA endorsed the strike and urged support for the bandh.
