“The river is hunting us from the north; the government is hunting us from the south”: People’s tribunal on starvation in Jalangi, West Bengal

Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha, West Bengal, India & Asian Human Rights Commission, Hong Kong

On 23-24 September 2005 a people’s tribunal consisting of retired high court judges, doctors, lawyers and social activists conducted an inquiry into starvation deaths in the area of Jalangi, Murshidabad district, West Bengal. It was a joint initiative of the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), a regional human rights organisation based in Hong Kong and Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (Masum), a human rights organisation based in West Bengal, India.

The participants in the tribunal were Justice H Suresh, Justice Samaresh Banerjea, Justice Malay Sengupta, Dr Lenin Raghuvanshi, Dr Prajjwal Sengupta, Dr Bikash Bhattacharjee, Mrs Chandreyee Alam, a senior advocate of the Calcutta High Court, and Mrs Anuradha Talwar, a social activist. They directly heard 28 detailed complaints of starvation and also many more complaints on visiting affected villages, while the tribunal organizers collected over 800 complaints in total. Some 1500 villagers also gathered at the site of the hearings both to listen and in hope of obtaining some food. However, no government representatives attended the hearing, despite being given prior notice along with the written complaints of the victims to be submitted to the tribunal, clearly mentioning the date, time and venue of the hearing.

The tribunal heard and saw that there is massive displacement in Jalangi due to the rapid erosion of the Padma River, which has been going on for over a decade. The tribunal members tearfully witnessed absolute human misery and saw total despair written on everyone’s faces. Erstwhile land owners have become landless labourers. They observed the pathetic scene of a land owner demolishing his house before it was sucked into the expanding water.

Starvation and malnutrition could be seen among men, women and children everywhere in the region. No one is sure of where the next meal will come from. No one has a regular source of income. A large number of children are apparently suffering from night blindness due to a lack of nutritious food. Many villagers said that they had complained to government offices with no results, and some requested that the tribunal members issue them welfare cards.

The tribunal heard the stories of a number of persons who had died due to starvation. A hungry child left alone ate lime thinking it was curd, and could not be saved. An elderly man died after refusing to eat when he learned that there was no food for other members of his family.

However, this creeping natural and human disaster has been met only by administrative neglect and indifference. For reasons of caste, religion and other prejudices, the state government has made no concerted effort to address the problems of the internally displaced persons. Some half-hearted schemes have offered no more than temporary measures to a handful of persons. Some programmes for construction of embankments to prevent further river erosion have collapsed for reasons of ineptitude and corruption. While boulders have been brought for the building of embankments, they can be seen lying stacked on the roadsides at villages including Ghoshpara, Roypara, Dayarampur, Paraspur and Taltali with no attempt to start the work along the riverside.

The interim order of the Supreme Court of India in writ petition 196/2001 on the right to food has not been followed in Jalangi. The court order has been violated there as follows:

a. The people living in these areas have lost their land and other sources of income and are utterly destitute. Yet they have not been identified as being below the poverty line.

b. Many of the victims would fall under the categories defined for the Antyodaya Anna Yojana support programme by the court’s order dated 2 May 2003, but they have not been identified and the programme has not been extended to them.

c. Murshidabad has been declared as one of 150 backward districts under the National Food for Work Programme. In spite of this and the order of the Supreme Court to provide deprived people work, only one to two days of work per year have been created under this scheme in the district.

d. Food rationing programmes are not functioning. Ration shops are only open two days per week, and are providing less than the declared scale in food grains and calories to beneficiaries. The food stocks being distributed are believed to be adulterated and the dealers are also overcharging and not providing memos.

e. There is no transparency in the management of schemes as required by the orders of the Supreme Court. Beneficiary lists and court orders are not displayed; accounts for the Mid Day Meal Scheme are not being given to the people, and the concerned families are suffering from acute shortages of food.

Voices
Sanjeev Karmakar
 told how he gave the body of his father Gurupada Karmakar up to the Padma River when he died:

“I tied my father’s corpse to some boulders and let it go into the river. It was his last wish. The Padma River has taken everything from us. When we lost all that we had, my father was not able to withstand the shock. He said that the river had taken all that we had. He asked us when he died to give his body to the river. I did as he wished.

“My father and I worked in the small workshop just here. It was washed away on 10 September 2005. My father died three days later, since he was not able to take it; his heart broke. Everything was lost into the river. We could not save anything since it happened all of a sudden that the river came and took everything that we had.

“Now all that you can see is the tip of the coconut palm and the tree which stood right there. I am trying to pull down my house and save the bricks so that when we move to the paddy field across there we will have a few bricks spared to build our hut. I am aware that it will also last not much longer, since the river is hunting us from the north and the government is hunting us from the south.

“The river as you see now was half a kilometer away a few months back. I do not know how far it will hunt us. It will have to stop soon, because it will run out of water and force to further hunt us down. But I am not sure about the government. We are already hunted down by the government saying that we are migrants from Bangladesh. How could it be? My father, grandfather and his father were all living in this house. Before 1947 we were here. Before 1947 we had relatives living on the other side of the river, which is now Bangladesh. But that doesn’t mean that we are also Bangladeshis. The government does not want to help us. The easiest way to do that is to brand us as Bangladeshi. This is not my story, ask anyone here. In Toltoli village many families will tell you the same story: at least a few thousand of them. Only the names are different.

“All that we have received as some help from the government was a polyethylene sheet, which is what it gave to a few to make huts in the paddy field, and 25kg of rice also. That is over now since I have nine members in my family to feed. Now we will all beg in the street, for which also there is competition since there are a few thousand of us who are in the same condition and who will give alms here? You can only expect that when there is somebody who has something to spare. Those who have something to spare are those who are engaged in smuggling. And the alms they give are asking us to work for them and they pay us, if we are willing. I do not want to be one like that.

“Tomorrow or the day after, we will shift to the paddy fields and build a hut there. I do not have any idea how we will survive. By the way can you give me some food? Maybe you will have something left over from yesterday. I was told that many [others] were given food. It is okay even if it is bad or leftover. My family is hungry.”

Meyaijan Bewa, wife of Sattar Sheikh (a.k.a. Mondal) of Dayarampur village told how her husband died on 2 March 2005, after not eating for three days. Her family had lost their house and land to the river. As it had been raining heavily and continuously they could not save anything from their house:

“Whatever we had, land, fruit bearing trees, house all were lost¡K Since we did not have any money we could not take my husband to the hospital or the doctor. We went to various government places. No help was given. Later when the government officials came, I told then that I lost my husband, and they promised to give 2000 rupees; however, nothing was given. I do not know from which department the group of officers came and got my thump impression. But I am yet to get any help. At the Jorthala BDO [Block Development Officer] office I stood in queue for three hours but I could not wait so I left. There were a huge number of people there waiting in the queue. All were in a similar situation¡K

“On the first day of moving from our house, we kept some rice. I cooked the rice and gave it to my husband. Then he asked whether we had anything. I told him that I did not. He did not take the food which I gave. He did not eat anything for the next two days¡K

“As of now I am working as a domestic helper, for which I get paid with food; but that food is not enough to keep us alive.”

Nujera Bewa, aged 30, of Dayarampur village described how her husband Neksar Mollah died of malnutrition-related illness in April 2005, leaving her with their three children, aged 12, eight and three.

“My father died when I was nine-months-old. My mother brought me up. She did not have enough money to take me to school. Neither did we have any money for regular food at home. But that was in the past and I thought things would change, especially after my marriage. However, that was not the case.

“I also suffer from chest problems and therefore cannot indulge in any hard labor or exert myself. According to the doctor, I need more care and proper medicines for which unfortunately I do not have money. Till now, I have just been able to get an x-ray done, the money for which was provided by local villagers who felt sorry for me. Since I am not recognized to be below the poverty line, I am not eligible to receive free treatment.

“I do not own any property. My children often go hungry as there is no money. Sometimes, people are kind enough to offer some food. I have no option but to beg and I make 10-15 rupees in about two weeks.

“My elder daughter goes to school as I requested a social organization that came to our village to provide help. They had asked me whether I wanted to send my children to an orphanage but I refused to do so. However, I am not really comfortable with the idea of sending my children to school as I have heard of cases where children are often sold to strangers after being promised education and better living conditions. But even if my children are starving to death, I will not sell them. The only option then will be to end our lives.

“Though at the moment I am living with my mother-in-law, I can be thrown out any moment as my husband is now dead and there are little chances of distribution of property.

“The government has done little for us: even those that support the ruling party. Since in the past I was a member of the local Congress party, everyone thinks we are Congress supporters and even a little help seems difficult. However, even when the Congress was ruling, our voices were unheard.

“All that we have received from the panchayat is 12kg of wheat, about six months ago, and a blanket which was given to my husband. We have nothing to cover ourselves with during the cold and we use old newspapers collected from the roadside to keep ourselves warm.

“Right now, I feel that there is no hope of surviving. I do not know what lies in the future. I do not know whether my kids will survive. But looking at how things have turned out for me, it’s better if they never have to face such a future.”

Menuka Mondal, aged 55, wife of late Sasti Charan Mondal of Dayarampur village, told how her 16-year-old son Gajol Mondal died after mistaking lime for curd.

“We were starving and in our room there was lime in a pot. He mistook that for curd and had it. I was at the market at that time. When I came home, I asked my son why he had this. He said that he thought it was food. I took my son to the well and tried to get him to vomit. I took him to the hospital. But the doctor said that they could not do anything since they did not have any medicine or equipment. I lost my son on 12 December 2004.

“My husband also died within the year. We lost everything in the river. All our documents were lost in the flood. My husband could not work since he was starving for a long time.”

Alauddin Sheikh, aged about 35, of Dayarampur village said that his parents died within the same week of February 2005.

“We went to the gram panchayat [subdistrict council] and also to the village panchayat [for help]. I am a daily labourer. I get 15 rupees per day. When we work for the government we get 30 rupees and food for the day. We get one job per year [from the government] for a span of 4 to 8 days.

“My father died on 19 February 2005 and my mother died on 25 February 2005. My father was a beggar. He starved to death. Sometimes I provided food to him, whenever I could manage. For about six months we had practically nothing to eat. My mother did not have any ailments, but she could not take any more and she died soon after my father’s death.”

Jabeeda Bewa, aged about 70, of Dakshin Goshpara village explained about her family’s difficulties since their house and land were swallowed by the Padma River:

“My son has no work. He has five daughters. I could not provide any education to my children. I am unemployed and so is my son. Since we lost our place to the river, we shifted to another place and I went to the government seeking help. But none of them helped. We are still starving. We are not informed about any schemes or any government programmes. We have been told that there are no schemes for us. Our children cannot go to school since the teachers have refused them. They have told us that, ‘You cannot give food to the children so then how can you educate them?’

“The public distribution system has no meaning. They just say that, ‘The government has not provided any food in your name.’ Then how can we get food? There is a gang here which takes cattle to Bangladesh. My son is also working like that. There is no other job. The officers here want us to have no job since they can exploit us for [this] trading. Only the government officers get any benefit. The government officers are also corrupt and they allot whatever they have to those who pay them money or work for them in this illegal trade.”

Appendix 2: “Tribunal confirms starvation deaths”

Asim Pramanik, The Statesman, 25 September 2005

The state government can no longer claim that starvation reports in Bengal are myths. A probe panel comprising former judges of Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata High Courts will submit a report to the state government confirming the starvation deaths in Jalangi and held the government responsible for the famine-situation prevailing there.

When this correspondent broke the news of starvation deaths in Jalangi in Murshidabad district late in February this year, the CPI-M [Communist Party of India-Marxist] party mouthpiece had protested against The Statesman and Dainik Statesman reports and blatantly denied that thousands of erosion victims, daily wagers, penniless peasants and fishermen living by the vulnerable embankments of the Padma along the Indo-Bangla border were without food.

The probe panel conducted direct hearing attended by the victims of starvation deaths, hunger-hit people, human rights activists and the local witnesses over the past two days. The exercise was termed as a “public tribunal” to inquire into hunger-situation affecting a river-side settlement across international border in Jalangi. The probe panel led by the former justice of Mumbai High Court, Mr H Suresh also went from door to door the starvation-induced human wretchedness.

Mr Suresh said: “Human rights are being grossly violated here. The area is worst-hit by starvation and yet the governments (both the state and central) did not take any effective step to solve the food-crisis, malnutrition, starvation, etc. We are moved to observe such a tragedy.” The panel would submit its report to the state government on Monday.

“Only a callous government can allow such a famine-like situation to prevail where over thousands are dying and crying for work and food. We also employed the service of medical experts to confirm and inquire into the malnutrition and diseases affecting the people due to starvation,” said Mr Kirity Roy, secretary, Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (MASUM), a Kolkata-based human rights body working jointly with the Asian Human Rights Commission.

Starvation deaths continue despite government’s commitment to provide food assistance in West Bengal

HU-07-2005: UPDATE (India): Starvation deaths continue despite government’s commitment to provide food assistance in West Bengal

INDIA: Starvation death; inadequate government action
———————————————————————

Dear friends,

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received updated information from Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (Masum) regarding the current hunger situation in Jalangi, Murshidabad, West Bengal. After months of suffering from hunger and malnutrition, the people of Jalangi were delighted to hear that their names would now be listed under state welfare schemes. However, five days after this victory, another starvation death occurred in the district, pointing to the failures of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in West Bengal.

The AHRC urges you to request for an immediate investigation into the matter, pressing upon the appropriate authorities to take responsibility for the inefficient and ineffective welfare schemes currently found in West Bengal. While the government’s action of listing victims under the PDS is commendable, it is still inadequate in protecting the right to food in India.

———————————————————–

UPDATE INFORMATION:

On September 4, 2005, the villagers of Jalangi, Murshidabad rejoiced at the good news; over 500 names, submitted by Masum, were added to about 20 ration dealer shops throughout the district. This meant that for the first time, the hunger victims in Jalangi would benefit from subsidized food through the Public Distribution System (PDS). Men, women and children in the area ran to the ration shops, eager to celebrate the seeming victory.

Masum had previously submitted the names to local authorities in March 2005, and met with the Block Development Officer and District Magistrate in Murshidabad, and the governor of West Bengal about the hunger crisis in mid-July. They were concerned that if the government did not act quickly to help the victims, violence was imminent in Jalangi.

However, on September 9, 2005, the severity of the hunger crisis in Jalangi was realized again. Hazrat Mollah, aged 55, died of starvation in Dayarampur village. He had been suffering from malnutrition for a long period of time.

Hazrat’s name was one of the many that had been submitted to the PDS (SL. No. 64). However, he was still unable to provide food for himself and unfortunately, passed away only five days after being afforded assistance.

This is not the first instance where the inefficiency of the PDS has resulted in hunger and starvation in West Bengal. It has been reported on several occasions that the quality or quantity of assistance is insufficient, that ration shops are closed, or that one has been denied food assistance even when providing proof of being a ration card holder.

—————————————-

Death certificate of Hazrat Mollah:

This is to certify that Hazrat Ali Mollah, age 52yr, son of late Haram Mollah of vill. Dayarampur, PS Jalangi, Murshidabad, died on 9.9.05 at about 6:30am. He could not get adequate food. Since long ago, his general condition of health was too low. He was suffering from malnutrition.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

For over 10 years, the Padma River has been eroding. Many homes and livelihoods have disappeared because of the swelling river, and the result has been the starving villagers in Jalangi. In recent years, the erosion has worsened and the hunger situation has grown significantly.

Several hunger deaths have been reported in the area, most recently on March 7, 2005. Please see HA-02-2005 for more details pertaining to the hunger crisis that persists.

Moreover, hunger and starvation in Jalangi has been a highly sensitive issue for the local authorities in Murshidabad. Mr. Gopen Sharma, a human rights worker from the area, has been threatened and attacked on numerous occasions by police and government officials for supporting the victims of hunger. Please see UA-59-2005 and UA-161-2005 for more information.

SUGGESTED ACTION:

Please write a letter to the Chief Minister of West Bengal and other related officials, urging them to investigate the situation. Please request that the appropriate measures must be taken to ensure that the Public Distribution System in the state provides sufficient and nutritious food assistance to its beneficiaries. Furthermore, please ask that the PDS be monitored to ensure it works properly, where by being placed under welfare schemes guarantees that quality food assistance is provided.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Dear ____________

RE: INDIA: Starvation deaths continue despite government’s commitment to provide food assistance in West Bengal

I was recently updated as to the current situation of hunger in Jalangi, Murshidabad and am shocked to learn that despite progress made, another starvation death has occurred in the area.

I was informed that on September 4, 2005 over 500 names of hunger victims in Jalangi had been added to the list of welfare recipients at public ration shops throughout the area. In the months leading up to this victory, the victims had been fighting for food assistance and were growing frustrated with the lack of action on the government’s part. Furthermore, many were angered that while the Padma River continue to erode, the villagers who lost their homes, land and jobs were not provided any rehabilitation, compensation or assistance. If the Padma River erosion was arrested, the villagers could then rebuild their lives and eventually provide for their own needs.

However, despite the elation of receiving assistance, hunger still persists in Jalangi. On September 9, 2005, it was reported that another starvation death occurred in the area. Hazrat Mollah, aged 52, had been suffering from severe malnutrition and died five days after being afforded assistance. His name was one of the hundreds placed under the Public Distribution System (PDS).

I am extremely disappointed to have learned of the inadequate assistance being provided to victims of hunger through the PDS. There have been several reports made regarding the failings of the PDS, which includes poor quality and quantity of food, irregular ration shop hours, and of outright denial of food distributed by ration dealers.

I strongly urge you to investigate this matter and into the inner workings of the PDS in West Bengal. The local authorities must ensure that adequate, sufficient and fair assistance be provided to hunger victims under welfare schemes so that starvation deaths do not continue to occur in Jalangi.

Threats made against local population and volunteers involved in people’s tribunal

UA-166-2005: INDIA: Threats made against local population and volunteers involved in people’s tribunal

INDIA: People’s tribunal; right to food; threat and intimidation; political interference
———————————————————————

Dear friends,

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) informed you on 22 September 2005 that a people’s tribunal hearing on starvation and government neglect will be held at Bankim Niwas in Jalangi, Murshidabad, West Bengal on September 23 and 24, organized by the Howrah-based Banglar Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (Masum) and ourselves (for further details see AS-96-2005).

Since 2002 the erosion of the Padma river bank has increased, resulting in a loss of fertile land and destitute villagers. Although the local government has been aware of the situation, till now little has been done to help those affected. The AHRC has previously reported on numerous cases of starvation deaths and hunger in the area, as well as other parts of India (To see some of these reports, please view: HU-07-2005, HA-21-2005, HA-15-2005, HA-13-2005). These have largely occurred due to corruption and the callousness of state officials.

Accordingly, the AHRC and Masum have established this people’s tribunal to hear the concerns of people in the area. However, threats and intimidation have already occurred against those wishing to attend and those assisting with the functioning of the tribunal in Jalangi. In the last two to three days, members of the Communist Party of India Marxists (CPIM) in Royerpara Village have publicly critcised the tribunal and told local villagers that its existence is a scam. Led by Santhosh Roy, the CPIM group, including Johadul Islam, Amjad Ali and Abu Bakkarsarkar has threatened local villagers telling them that they would be being watched and anyone who attended the tribunal would not receive government assistance. The group also told the villagers that it was the CPIM that was the authority of the area and that the villagers should remember this.

In a further incident, nine volunteers who had gathered in Uttar Ghoshpara Village this morning (September 23) were confronted by a group from the CPIM. The volunteers were threatened due to their involvement with the tribunal and one of them, Ms. Tia Khatoon was forcibly taken by CPIM member, Mr. Johadul Islam and driven back to her family home. There she was told not to return to the other volunteers and not to further involve herself with the functioning of the tribunal. The other volunteers who were threatened were Bikis Haznant, Nuresha Biwi, Rabiya Biwi, Kohinoor Biwi, Ranjona Biwi, Pakhin Katoon, Dilrupa Katoon and Ranjona Biwi (there were two persons with the name Ranjona Biwi). The volunteers were told that if they wanted change in the area that they were to approach the CPIM, since it was they who were the authority in the area. As a departing warning, the CPIM group told the volunteers that neither they nor their families would receive any assistance should they continue to work for the tribunal.

Such threats against persons choosing to participate in or work for the people’s tribunal in Jalangi are entirely unacceptable and must be remedied without delay. We ask that you write to the Chief Minister of the Government of West Bengal, Mr. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee regarding this matter. As the tribunal is taking place today, we remind you of the urgency of your intervention. Please ask Mr Bhattacharjee to take immediate measures to stop this form of threat and intimidation against those who are involved with the tribunal. Please also ask him to ensure that disciplinary action is taken against those CPIM members who have already made such threats.

Dear Mr. Bhattacharjee

INDIA: Threats made against local population and volunteers involved in people’s tribunal

I write to voice my anger about the threats made against a local population and volunteers involved in the people’s tribunal hearing on starvation and government neglect being held at Bankim Niwas in Jalangi, Murshidabad, West Bengal today and tomorrow, which has been organized by the Howrah-based Banglar Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (Masum) and the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) based in Hong Kong.

According to the information I have received, despite the tribunal having only started this morning (September 23) threats and intimidation have already occurred against those wishing to attend and those assisting with the functioning of the tribunal in Jalangi. In the last two to three days, members of the Communist Party of India Marxists (CPIM) in Royerpara Village have publicly critcised the tribunal and told local villagers that its existence is a scam. Led by Santhosh Roy, the CPIM group, including Johadul Islam, Amjad Ali and Abu Bakkarsarkar has threatened local villagers telling them that they would be being watched and anyone who attended the tribunal would not received government assistance. The group also told the villagers that it was the CPIM that was the authority of the area and that the villagers should remember this.

In a further incident, nine volunteers who had gathered in Uttar Ghoshpara Village this morning were confronted by a group from the CPIM. The volunteers were threatened due to their involvement with the tribunal and one of them, Ms. Tia Khatoon was forcibly taken by CPIM member, Mr. Johadul Islam and driven back to her family home. There she was told not to return to the other volunteers and not to further involve herself with the functioning of the tribunal. The other volunteers who were threatened were Bikis Haznant, Nuresha Biwi, Rabiya Biwi, Kohinoor Biwi, Ranjona Biwi, Pakhin Katoon, Dilrupa Katoon and Ranjona Biwi (there were two persons with the name Ranjona Biwi). The volunteers were told that if they wanted change in the area that they were to approach the CPIM, since it was they who were the authority in the area. As a departing warning, the CPIM group told the volunteers that neither they nor their families would receive any assistance should they continue to work for the tribunal.

Such threats against persons choosing to participate in or work for the people’s tribunal in Jalangi are entirely unacceptable and must be remedied without delay. I therefore request you, in your capacity as the Chief Minister of the Government of West Bengal to immediately intervene in this matter. Given that the tribunal will take place only today and tomorrow, I trust that you will appreciate the extreme urgency in your intervention. I ask you to take immediate measures to stop this form of threat and intimidation against those who are involved with the tribunal. I also ask you to ensure that disciplinary action is taken against those CPIM members who have already made such threats.

The Government of West Bengal has already failed those people who wish their voices to be heard at the tribunal. I ask that you do not fail them again by ignoring this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Government action inadequate in providing rehabilitation to displaced hunger victims and continued starvation death in Murshidabad, West Bengal

HU-09-2005: UPDATE (India): Government action inadequate in providing rehabilitation to displaced hunger victims and continued starvation death in Murshidabad, West Bengal

INDIA: Hunger and starvation; inadequate government action; right to life
———————————————————————

Dear friends,

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received updated information from Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (Masum) regarding recent plans proposed by the government to address the terrible living conditions in Jalangi, Murshidabad, West Bengal. The plans to relocate displaced villagers from several villages in Jalangi however do not provide any permanent solutions to their concerns. Additionally, the AHRC was also informed that another starvation death has occurred. Thus, even though names had been submitted to Public Distribution Shops, to date no one has been provided with food assistance.

The AHRC asks you to contact the Chief Minister of West Bengal and all other relevant authorities urging them to immediately intervene in the hunger situation in Jalangi and remedy the systemic failures in the Public Distribution System. Furthermore, please call on the local authorities to propose a feasible rehabilitation programme for the victims.

Urgent Appeals Desk – Hunger Alert
Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)
———————————————————–

UPDATE INFORMATION:

In late October, it was reported to the AHRC that the block administration of Murshidabad had proposed a rehabilitation programme for displaced hunger victims from the Dayarampur, Parashpur and Taltali villages who currently have no land or means to provide for their livelihoods due to the Padma River erosion. In the middle of the Padma River lies an island, a piece of land made by the river itself many years ago, that was given to landless tillers in 1974 by the governor of West Bengal under the West Bengal Land Reform Act 1955. The government has now proposed that the displaced villagers from Jalangi be relocated to this piece of land.

Several problems exist in this plan and point to why it is an ineffective remedy to the situation in Jalangi. First, because the land was originally given to landless tillers, they are the ones who have legal claim to it and therefore it cannot be used for rehabilitation purposes. Also, the land itself is not fit for residential use, as water, sanitation, electricity and communication systems are all lacking. Finally, taking into consideration the rapid and swift changes occurring along the banks of the Padma River, the land may also in time be susceptible to erosion and this proposal does not address the continuous loss of land existing in the area.

The local administration is reported to have already started moving victims to the deposited land. Currently, displaced villagers from the Udaynagar and Suryanagar colonies are forcibly being taken to land by the district administration, with the help of the police.

Meanwhile, the Public Distribution System (PDS) is still failing to provide assistance to the hunger victims in Jalangi. The 500-plus villagers, whose names had been placed in ration shops in September 2005, have not been receiving food assistance. The lists were also distributed to the District Magistrate Office and Block Development Office and upon investigation all the victims mentioned were found to be genuinely suffering from starvation and malnutrition. However, ration shop dealers have not been distributing food on claims that they have not received a government order to do so. When questioned on the current status of food assistance to the victims, Mr. Gulam Ali Ansari, Additional District Magistrate (General) of Murshidabad responded that he had to enquire further about the matter.

Tragically, as a result of the government dragging its feet, on October 29, 2005, another man who was listed under the PDS list died of starvation and hunger related illnesses. Ummat Ali Shah did not receive any food assistance before he died.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

For over 10 years, the Padma River has been eroding. Many homes and livelihoods have disappeared because of the swelling river, and the result has been the starvation of villagers in Jalangi. In recent years, the erosion has worsened and the hunger situation has grown significantly.

Several hunger deaths have been reported in the area. Please see HA-02-2005 for more details pertaining on the persisting hunger crisis. Moreover, there have now been questions on more that one occasion regarding the government’s lack of sufficient and appropriate action in trying to address the victims hunger and land needs. Please see HU-07-2005 for details.

SUGGESTED ACTION:

Please write a letter to the Chief Minister of West Bengal and other related officials, urging them to investigate the situation. First, the local administration must be condemned for its poor excuse of a rehabilitation programme and urged to seriously and appropriately address and rectify all the problems the victims are suffering. Furthermore, please request that appropriate measures be taken to ensure that the Public Distribution System in the state provides sufficient and nutritious food assistance to its beneficiaries. The PDS must also be monitored to ensure it works properly, where by being placed under welfare schemes guarantees that quality food assistance is provided. A sample letter is provided below.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Dear ____________

RE: INDIA: Government action inadequate in providing rehabilitation to displaced hunger victims in Murshidabad, West Bengal

I was recently updated as to the current situation of hunger in Jalangi, Murshidabad and am deeply concerned that the local administration has not actively taken steps to address it.

I was informed that a rehabilitation programme has been put in place to move displaced villagers from Jalangi to a piece of land that lies in the middle of the Padma River. However, I was shocked to learn that this piece of land was already given to landless tillers in 1974 by the governor of West Bengal under the West Bengal Land Reform Act 1955. Furthermore, it is my understanding that no amenities exist on the island as it lacks water, electricity, sanitation and communication systems. Finally, given the nature of the river erosion, the land may also be susceptible to erosion. Thus, this rehabilitation plan is not sufficient in providing an effective and long-term solution to the problem.

It was also brought to my attention that the Public Distribution System (PDS) is still failing to provide assistance to the hunger victims in Jalangi, who are severely malnourished due to losing their land and livelihoods. Over 500 villagers, whose names had been placed in ration shops in September 2005, have still not received any food assistance. The lists were also distributed to the District Magistrate Office and Block Development Office and all the victims mentioned were found to be genuinely suffering from starvation and malnutrition. However, ration shop dealers have not been distributing food on claims that they have not received a government order to do so. When questioned on the current status of food assistance to the victims, Mr. Gulam Ali Ansari, Additional District Magistrate (General) of Murshidabad responded that he had to enquire further about the matter.

I am also extremely distressed to learn that while the government authorities have been inert, another villager, Ummat Ali Shah, is reported to have died of starvation on October 29, 2005. Mr Shah, whose name was also listed under the PDS, did not receive any food rations before he died.

Given the severity of hunger and the rapid erosion of land, the government must take immediate and appropriate steps to address the situation. The problems in Jalangi are many, and a genuine rehabilitation programme that aims to help rebuild the victims’ lives must include regular and sufficient food assistance, permanent land with amenities for the villagers to reside and farm on, access to healthcare and education facilities, as well as a plan to stop the river erosion and reduce the amount of land being lost each year. If the government continues to fail in this respect, the starvation deaths will increase rapidly.

I strongly urge you to investigate this situation immediately and take necessary action to address the problems in Jalangi. Please ensure that the Public Distribution System in the state provides sufficient and nutritious food assistance to its beneficiaries. Please also monitor the PDS to ensure it works properly, where by being placed under welfare schemes guarantees that quality food assistance is provided. Finally, the proposed plan by the district administration in no way provides rehabilitation and I urge you to seriously and appropriately address and rectify the problems the victims are suffering.

Sincerely,
