Punjab's Tribals Fight For Justice - Memorandum Presented to ADC Jalandhar

Punjab has a tribal population of around 35 - 40 lakh. There is no official recognition , as it there in other states , as Scheduled  Tribes ( ST ) although some of the tribes have been incorrectly included in the Scheduled Caste list.

Their apex body , Punjab State Tribal Castes Organisation ( Punjab Pradesh Vimukt Jatia Sangathan ) under the Presidentship of Dr. Tarsem Singh Mahla MBBS , feels that they deserve 7  : 5 % reservations for Scheduled Tribes ( ST ) and 5 % as Weaker Sections.

The organisation wants a separate Welfare Board for Scheduled Tribes of Punjab

Further , Tribals of Punjab have been deeply hurt by the move to change the name of Rajasansi International Airport of Amritsar.

A big protest rally was held in Jalandhar and a Memorandum of Demands was presented to ADC Jalandhar Gurpreet Singh Kahira .

The delegation was led by Dr. Tarsem Singh Mahla MBBS and included .Kuldeep Singh ,Chaman Singh , Kulwant Singh Mahla ( of Vimukt Chetna Manch ) ; Mangat Ram  ( Amritsar ); Prem Kumar ; Natha Ram ; Charan Das and many others.
