Jharkhand CM Champai Soren Prioritizes Tribal Land Rights and Law Enforcement

Jharkhand CM Champai Soren has directed officials to prioritize safeguarding tribal land rights and ensuring timely benefits from government schemes. He emphasized resolving court-decided land disputes and cases under the SC-ST Act. Soren also urged law enforcement to enhance security, particularly around schools, and enforced bans on opium cultivation.

In a determined push for tribal rights, Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren on Tuesday mandated that officials expedite the enforcement of court decrees favoring tribals in land disputes. He stressed resolving all cases under the SC-ST Act on a priority basis.

During a high-level meeting, Soren instructed that government benefits reach promptly to the survivors of fallen soldiers. He emphasized maintaining law and order and called for stringent measures against crime, drug trafficking near educational institutions, and unlawful opium cultivation.

The directive follows criticism from the Jharkhand High Court on the state’s handling of drug trafficking issues. Soren insisted on robust urban patrolling and legal actions against professional criminals to ensure the safety of citizens.
