The ongoing agitation for land by tribespeople in Wayanad got an impetus with the Adivasi Gothra Maha Sabha (AGMS) joining the fray on Tuesday.

Close to 150 tribal families erected huts on vested forest areas at Nagamana, Aranappara, and Kagajadi in the Tirunelli grama panchayat, under the North Wayanad forest division to claim their rights on the land.
