Why is West Bengal's Garo tribe feeling neglected? | The Hindu

No concrete roads, no public transport

For the Garo tribal community settled in West Bengal's Uttar Panialguri village nothing has changed in decades
With the 2023 panchayat elections, the tribe says development has left them behind
The villagers say the block development officer and panchayat members visit only during the election campaigns
