Maliparbat, a bauxite-rich hill in Koraput, Odisha, is leased to manufacturing giant #HINDALCO & a public hearing today will decide the future of this lease. Of the 44 villages in the area, 41 oppose the mining. In our quest for development, are we sidelining indigenous voices?🧵 
Local resistance led to the mines being closed in 2010, but #Hindalco sought to renew the environmental clearance for bauxite mining on Maliparbat. When the local communities protested at public hearings, they were met with harsh treatment from the police.

The PESA Act and the #ForestRightsAct grant the Adivasis of Maliparbat autonomy over the land. This autonomy is doubly important given the locals' reliance on forest produce for medicine and healthcare, since public healthcare is often inaccessible.
