No word on rare tribes
KOLKATA,
DEC. 28.
How are the Jarawas, the Ongis and the Sentenelese tribes doing? Have the six aboriginal tribes survived the killer tsunami that slammed the Andaman and Nicobar islands?
"It is a matter of serious concern that we have not received any information about these most endangered tribes considered as the missing link with early civilisation," a spokesman of the Anthropological Survey of India said here today.
The world's last aboriginal tribes were the Jarawas, Ongis, Shompen, Sentenelese, Nicobarese and Great Andamanese and even after two days there is no information from the innumerable islets inhabited by them in the Andamans.
He said the ASI's regional centre at Port Blair could not be contacted due to the total breakdown in the communication system.
"Telephones are not working and there is no system of communication with the adjacent islands to keep track of the aboriginal tribes," he said.
