Request support: Harassment against PLHIV in Jeypore Block , Koraput dist Orissa

[Guest guest]

[Moderators note: In my conversation with Mr. Santosh Kumar, he

indicated the seriousness of the matter and his request appears to be

genuine and urgent]

Dear forum,

It has come to the notice of the local PLHA group that a Women PLHIV

of Jeypore Block , Koraput dist (Bariniput Panchayat, under Jeypore

police station) has been constantly harassing by the local community.

It seems, now they are planning to hold a panchayat meeting, to

chase this lady from the village.

The village elders indicated to this lady that she should be gone

from the village otherwise they would forcefully evict her from the

village.

Has the village sarpanch and the panchayat any right to evict her

from the village?

Kindly advice us on what should be done in order to avoid her

eviction from the village.

We request Orissa SACS or some other agencies to help us

Please treat this as very urgent

My Mobile Number is 09437871499.

Warm Regards

Santosh Kumar
