Sileiyor village under the revenue inspector of Kalahandi district Jayapatna is known as a revenue village. 100% of the scheduled castes and tribes have been living in this village since before the independence of the country. It will be a big surprise to hear, 70% of the tribals here still do not have their own land to cultivate. As a result, the dream of getting a piece of land has been dashed. But it is found that the government officials are helping the rich people of other villages to submit the forest land of this tribal village. It is known that the revenue officials have leased the forest land, plot no 38, plot no 231 to Yugbal Patel, an OBC category person from another village, and the forest of this place is being cleared by JCB machine. It has been alleged that he has cut down valuable trees like Meel and Chahar and submitted the land. He has two storied buildings, four wheelers and two wheelers. Besides that, the audience has a grocery shop and a big broiler center. The departmental officials have leased out the trees in the village of Sileiyore to create agricultural land while the government is calling it a paid ma ke name. Despite the repeated complaints of the villagers, the revenue officials are not listening. As a result, the villagers have lost their basic rights. In the villages where the tribal people have not been given a land lease till date, the local tehsildar is bringing the OBC category people from other villages and leasing the land. They have again cut the forest and submitted it. Nasre called the corruption of the officials. The rich people of other villages are occupying the forest land under Kou rights, where the residents of the ST and SC categories have not been able to get land leases. Someone is coming from another village in Chhatrachaya and cutting trees from the forest land with the help of JCB machine in a tribal village. It has become a matter of discussion in the public whether the departmental officials are involved. It remains to be seen how fast the government and administration will act after the news and when justice will be given to the villagers of Sileiyoor.
