settlers burned down cluster village of jumma people. more than 150 houses burned. The Army firing bullet to the jumma peoples. 5 got injured. tention is mounting.
One investigation team tried to go to the incident place but army gave bar.
we think the attack is pre-planned. may be it is because to instigate communal hatred.
urgent intervention needed.

These attacks have been going on a long time now, the indigenous people of the area can't even go to buy and sell goods without putting their lives at risk from the beatings handed out by the soldiers.

Changma, thank you for the post on this. Do you happen to have a source for this news, other then the blog post?
All I can find on this so far is from the 19 June 2008.
