Mesram Gond Adivasis
had a disappointment with the ‘over enthusiasm’ shown by the Media persons and
police during the special puja performed to the serpentine god Nagoba at the
temple at midnight on Sunday.
The Adivasis expressed
their displeasure over the way the police were acting and media people covering
the event and objected to police officials vacating the some of the Mesram
Adivasi men sitting in premises of main Nagoba temple during traditional puja.
Media persons were
jostling for the coverage of the event. Adivasis felt uncomfortable with the
huge presence of police men in the main premises of temple in the name of
security to the SP Dr Tarun Joshi and Collector Jagan Mohan, ITDA project
officer R.V Karnan. The police blocked the Adivasis to have a look at their traditional
puja.
Even, some of the
Mesram Gond elders asked the media persons not to cover the event if they had
no respect to their traditions and customs.
