"Oustees" - what a horrible term and an unfortunate fate! These families are heroes who have sacrificed a lifetime of displacement and suffering for the nation's "development". Thanks for capturing this important story.

Yes, Mukta, those who lose homes to economic projects are unwilling martyrs. Unfortunately, those who try to fight for their rights are called Naxalites.

That's sad. Honourable SC must have listed matter subsequently, I guessed. That's how legal issues are supposed to be resolved.
