“We have started holding nukkad natak and meetings in villages to make tribal people aware of the supreme sacrifices made by our Ho people to protect our rights, traditions, culture and land, and also against British rule during the past century. We are requesting them not to celebrate picnics and instead march to Kharsawan, Jagannathpur and Rajabasa to pay tribute to our tribal martyrs on January 1 and 2,” Govind Birua, AHSYM state president, told HT on Friday.
