Tribal head's demand
By Our Staff Reporter
PALAKKAD,
JAN. 23
. The tribal chief of Attappady Hills, the 110-year- old, Mudha Moopan, has asked the `non-tribals' who "invaded the tribal land in Attappady and other areas to quit the place to allow tribals to get back their land and livelihood''.
Addressing a public meeting, organised at Agali today to receive a State-wide march led by the Adivasi Gothra Mahasabha leader, C.K. Janu, which began from Kasaragod on January 15, Mudha Moopan said that the tribals had led a happy life before the influx of `non-tribals' to Attappady in the 1960s. They had their forest to earn their livelihood and land to cultivate food. But these lands were snatched by settlers who cleared the forest, thus depriving the tribals of their livelihood and environment.
