Yet a recent expansion of the movement in Chhattisgarh seems to indicate that the strength of the Naxalites lies in the weakness of the state. Others claim that 'Salwa Judum' was a construction of the local government, especially Mr S.
Camp Situation Report
Unfortunately, although the Adivasis have owned the land for thousands of years, most still do not have the legal title to the land. Some argue that the displacement of the Adivasis of Chhattisgarh paved the way for MNCs to smoothly take over the ownership of the land.
Overview
Shelter
Food and Clean Water
In the Pollampalli camp, most of the shelters were made of sticks and mud and covered with thatched palm fronds. Most of the camp residents she indicated work under the employment scheme, usually road works, and sometimes children join their parents.

She has lived in this camp with her family of a daughter, four sons and her husband. She also reported that the first time they came from Gollapalli (place of origin) about 50 percent of the villagers came along and they fell ill.
Income Generation/Livelihood Programs
In Dornapal we were told that people who come from local villages can now leave the camp during the day to go to their villages to participate in farming and return at night. In many camps we were told that some road and pond work is available, but that work is sporadic and not available to everyone.
Education
Our team's interviews always reflected an underlying tone of frustration that while some work is available, it is far from farming and traditional agricultural activities that people would much rather be doing.
Electricity
Security
When asked why their families moved to the camp; they said that if they returned to their villages “they would be torn to pieces. Under the police act of 1861, which created them, they will revert to their former civil status.
Status of Women
Both of them had joined as Special Protection Officers for about seven to eight months at the time of the interview. Although some would argue that they are motivated by the Salwa Judum movement, our interviews indicated that these young people were simply looking for "something to do" and that, after experiencing the reality of combat, many (especially the youngest ) longing for a holiday or a chance. to return to their families.

Camp Morale
They wish to return to their villages and resume their farming activities and tell us stories of what they have. But we never got to meet anyone who had returned to their villages, and we wonder if perhaps these stories are being told simply to give them something to hold on to.

Such authorities shall seek to facilitate the reintegration of returned or resettled internally displaced persons; and 2) Special efforts must be made to ensure the full participation of internally displaced persons in the planning and management of their return or resettlement and reintegration. As well as Principle 29: 2) Competent authorities have the duty and responsibility to assist returned and/or resettled internally displaced persons to return, as far as possible, their property and possessions that they left behind or were dispossessed during their displacement gain.
Recommendations for State and National Level policy makers
Our teams have not spoken to any person who wanted to remain in the camps, nor have we seen adequate reports suggesting that people would rather remain in the camps than return to their villages and resume farming activities. She has agreed to send a major research team to Bastar and AP to investigate the condition of children in AP's Bastar and displaced families camps. The helicopter poi-let returned and the officers landed safely in the state capital.
At the time of the shooting at the helicopter, there were about 500 police officers near the landing site. The tribals living in the base camps of Salwa Judum are fleeing the camps due to harassment and ill-treatment by the Salwa Judum activists, said a report sent from Chintur in Khammam district bordering Konta in Dantewara and published in Andhra Jyothi on October 1, 2007. The question that arises is where have these tribes gone - have they gone back to their villages or migrated to Andhra Pradesh or hidden in the jungles of Dantewara.
The ‘Right to Return’
Context Analysis
Large-scale displacement of civilians has become the common ordeal of the residents of the war-torn regions of the North and East since full-scale war between the Government and the LTTE began in 1983. According to various sources, approximately 65,000 IDPs were unable to return due to the High Security Zones (HSZ)5. 3 See Walter Kälin, Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, Annotations, which explains in detail the legal basis for each of the Principles.
Over the years, it has been the site of several displacements, housing large numbers of IDPs on the run for decades, displaced and re-displaced on several accounts, as the object of man's wrath as nature's wrath. It is therefore estimated that approximately one-third (35%) of the district's population of 422,674 have been displaced10. Although 100% of those displaced from Vaharai have reportedly been returned, renewed fighting in Vaunathivu has resulted in new waves of displacement11.
The National Response
Lack of communication has been the main cause of displaced people's reluctance to return. According to the review, the lack of food has been one of the top two reasons for those who stated that. A lack of water tanks has been reported in Panichchenkerny, while most of the wells in Vellaveli need to be cleaned42.
Communication systems have also been severely limited, compromising humanitarian intervention as well as the safety of the people. Although access to public services, when available, has not presented any significant problems, there appear to be certain inadequacies in the provision and quality of the services. Positive discrimination is therefore encouraged, especially in relation to vulnerable segments of the displaced population.
The Government, the People and the Third Party Perspective
The legislative power of the People is exercised by the Parliament, composed of representatives elected by the people and by the people in a referendum. The executive power of the People, including the defense of Sri Lanka, shall be exercised by the President of the Republic elected by the people. 63 For example, the Constitution of Sri Lanka does not contain the "right to life" as a fundamental right of the individual.
The nature of the relationship between the government and the people is decisive in the protection of individual and community rights, especially in a pluralistic society like Sri Lanka, and testifies to the extent of "representation" of the people. 67 See Kishali Pinto-Jayawardana, "Subverted Justice and the Breakdown of the Rule of Law in Sri Lanka.", 2007, p. 21, is considered a central point in the protection of the human rights of internally displaced persons.
The Rights Based Approach
In addition, the inclusion of IDPs in discussions or the development of protection/assistance strategies has not yet become a standard in agency best practices. Often, albeit unintentionally, the individual and the individual experience, especially the emotional/psychological, gets lost in definitions, conceptualizations and intellectual jargon. For example, even when women and adolescent girls are part of the formal economy, there are marked differences in their post-conflict employment95.
Therefore, a critical error occurs in the regular interpretation of RBA, because it does not give due importance to the individual and his experience. That is why it is important to highlight the importance of the individual and prevent immersion in the collective, especially when providing humanitarian aid and protection. There is a great danger that these mistakes will be repeated even in the rehabilitation of returnees, if the needs of the individual or individual family are not adequately taken into account.
New Mechanisms – The Future in Perspective
The Secretary of the Minister of the Minister in charge of the subject of Plan Implementation or his representative; And. Formulating national policies and planning, implementing, monitoring and coordinating the resettlement of displaced persons and refugees. Its mandate also allows the Authority to hold the actions of the intervening bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, accountable to the displaced.
The design envisages concepts such as sharing the time of employees in specialized agencies and the possibility for the authority to meet budget requirements by providing services116. In order to facilitate the work of the CCHA, five sub-committees have been established within the supreme body of the CCHA. Therefore, it would be essential to include representatives of the affected population who have a better insight into the reality and challenges on the ground.
Conclusion
For although the consultation of internally displaced persons (including returnees) is in principle a recognized imperative and guaranteed inclusion in the development of legal mechanisms and strategies to solve their problems, it is questionable to what extent such ideals are realized in practice. Therefore, it is important that both the authority and CCHA ensure the maximum coherence between the needs of internally displaced persons/returnees and their fulfillment, timely assistance and ongoing protection, and ensure transparency and accountability, establish monitoring and feedback mechanisms. . Nevertheless, the Resettlement Authority and the CCHA, if channeled in the right direction, are effective tools that would prove to be very useful in finding durable solutions to end displacement, as well as in effectively applying and localizing universal humanitarian standards to internal displacement and meaningfully applying the values and principles of liberal democracy and a rights-based approach.
Internal displacement and IDPs, although a national problem of great proportions, is a topic that has not yet penetrated the public consciousness, and people remain ignorant or indifferent to the daily plight of the displaced. It is therefore critical to sensitize the individual and awaken his socio-political consciousness, as this is where the potential for a "social revolution" lies.
