Supreme Court to receive documents after validation by village councils
The deadline given by the Odisha government for compiling and verifying the forest rights claims of villagers on the Niyamgiri hills ended on Sunday. After the Supreme Court's April 18 order on forest clearance for Niyamgiri mining project, the state government had given six weeks' time for submission of forest, cultural and religious rights claims by Dongria Kondhs, a primitive tribe, residing in the hilly terrain.
