Mr Tilawat said that the Lambadas were not migrants and they are locals. He told them that he spoke to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and explained to him about the ongoing conflict.
Mr Tilawat told the HRF committee members that KCR was of the opinion to announce special package to the Adivasis for their welfare and some relaxations in norms for special recruitment for Adivasis to resolve the ongoing issue.
