Birsa, Bhima and Tantya melas in MP

Bhopal, Nov 27 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan averred on Friday that fairs will be conducted on the birth anniversaries of immortal tribal martyrs Birsa Munda, Bhima Nayak and Tantya Mama.
While addressing a Tribal Pride Felicitation ceremony in Barwani District’s Oonchi village, the veteran leader cautioned, “Certain vested interests are trying to vitiate our country’s socio-cultural harmony. Attempts are underway to bring about religious conversion through temptation and trepidation. Love jihad shall not be allowed in our state and legislation will be enacted against it in the near future. A provision of ten years’ imprisonment shall be incorporated. The Tribal Loan Waiver Act, 2020 is against unauthorised usury.”

Official sources said that a mela will be conducted every December 29 in Bhima Nayak’s birthplace. On April 4, a similar event will be held for honouring Tantia Bhil.

The senior politician granted approval for construction of a dozen residential education complexes for girls and college girls’ hostels in nine places. He assured that the menace posed by middlemen in the agrarian sphere would be tackled. Mr Chouhan distributed Forest Rights certificates to 1,021 beneficiaries, Ladli Laxmi Yojana documents, honoured five talented pupils and disbursed credit to self-help groups. The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for 42 projects including 35 gaushalas at a projected expenditure of Rs 17.86 lakh each. He dedicated to the people 19 enterprises costing Rs 70.35 crore.
