Kurmi Community in West Bengal Plans Rail, Road Blockade Over ST Status

Imagine a group of people called the Kurmis, who want the government to give them special status, like Scheduled Tribe.

They plan to block roads and railways in some areas to get the government's attention.

The government is worried and is trying to stop them because the court said it's illegal.

The Kurmis say they were once considered special, but they were removed from the list.

They feel ignored after writing to the government.

They want to be recognized and get the benefits that come with being a Scheduled Tribe.
