Tribal Woman's Body Dumped at Tehsil Office in Burial Dispute
A 65-year-old woman named Baby Pawar died in a village.
When the family went to bury her, they found there was no space.
The government offered some land, but the family and other villagers didn't want to use it.
They asked the officials for a different burial ground, but no one helped them.
Frustrated, they took the woman's body to the tehsil office and threatened to bury her there as a protest.
This is now raising questions about the rights of the tribal people and how their needs are being addressed.

Relatives faced a lack of burial space in the village.
The tehsil administration offered government land for burial.
