Tribals of India's northeastern state of Chhattisgrah say militarisation of policing has never enhanced safety but worsened the human rights situation
Two months after the killings, what's left of the protest site is a handful of villagers still holding placards with the hope of convincing the Indian government to remove the paramilitary camp from the area.
But the government provides a profoundly different account. Calling the slain protesters the "Maoist helpers", the police said they opened fire in retaliation as the Maoist fighters had infiltrated the protest site in a bid to burn down the police camp. Villagers sitting on the other side of the trench that has been dug to make bridges crossing Silger Police Camp. into the killing and also announced a cash compensation to the victims' families.
Therefore, for a state that has a varied set of motives from achieving security goals to pushing aggressive capitalistic policies in the tribal areas of Chhattisgarh, the human rights abuse and disenfranchisement of people is inevitable -- and fighting legal battles against the Indian state becomes a herculean task, says Bhatiya, the activist.
Once the security camp gets up and running, they fear they will not be free to go to forests and get on with their lives.

And it makes Nykaa’s mooted up to $4.5 billion valuation for its initial public offering look less dolled up.
