While Bhagwan Birsa Munda spent only 25 years in this movement, he accused Birsa Munda of being the most powerful tribal melee and mass movement hero in the history of India, and the great revolutionary Birsa Muna breathed his last on June 9, 1900 in a cell in Rajchi Jail.

After the meeting, they came out in a procession and worshiped the full-size portrait of Martyr Karunakar Singh at Karanakar Park. After garlanding Birsa Munda’s portrait, placing floral wreaths at Karunakar’s statue at Karunakar Street, he reached the village retreat office and presented a demand to the President and the Chief Minister for implementation of Pesa Act, recognition of Kolabira as a tribal block, recognition of the uprooted Lekera Legislative Assembly and various problems of the tribals. The procession was accompanied by traditional tribal dances, songs and traditional weapons.
