India - Amlasole Remote Trival Village

This Pictures taken May 09,2019 --- Amlasole is a remote trivial village of Jharkhand border in Banipur II Block of West Medinipur district of West Bengal. The place is 250 km from Kolkata. The nearest Panchayat office is 23 km away at Banspahari and it is as far as 26 km from police station at Belpahari. It is 26 km away from Ghatshila and 60 km away from Purulia. The people of Amlasole belong mainly two trivial communities like Shabar and Munda. Amlasole had hit international headlines 15 years ago following the deaths of five members of Sabar tribe. They died due to hunger and malnutrition. The victims included Shambhu Sabar (25), Sanata Sabar (50), Nathu Sabar (51), Shamay Sabar (55) and his daughter Mangoli Sabar (33). They used to survive by eating Kurkut. Life became easier since then, although by no means rosy, and now they have a regular supply of cheaply available rice by Mamata Banerjee government and look forward to having more mundane problems solved, such as having doctors regularly visiting the primary health centres in the region, ready supply of mosquito nets to prevent malaria, jobs for men, electricity for longer hours and drinking water. Picturesque for the outside world, the hills and forests are replete with the dangers lurking behind the facade. Amlasole Remote Villages in West Bengal,India.
