Dear Sir,
You have already taken most of their land and driven them out of their homes.
You have driven them to starvation and desperation. Your highways have cut through the ecological balance of bio-environments, isolating each side.
Your cities are built by chopping down forests so we can build our skyscrapers and continue to pollute our own breathing with carbon monoxide.
Your industries have cut further into our forests, for farming and wood.
It is imperative that some action be taken against the forest officials and police officers who stood by and allowed this to happen.
Here you can find information about the people involved :

You may also see a video of the event showing those people involved here:

You need to make sure law enforcers across the country never allow something like this again.
In addition, the local panchayat or collector must issue a public warning to those villagers, and make a public statement in the media about what happened and what actions were taken to render justice.
Sincerely,
Chantal Buslot
