I am summarising two reports from today's newspapers.

1. fron Malayala Manorama:
Health Camps won't be Allowed: Workers

Athumbumkulam (Konni): Ther blockade by workers creates hindrance
before the
intended
health camp at Chengara struggle site by health
department.Yesterday,there
were  heated
arguments between health department officials and plantation workers.
The
officials went thier on
district collector P.C.Sanalkumar's instruction.

The state health department authorities were convinced on visiting the
site
that many protesters are undergoing severe
health problems.They are using the water from river for
coocking.Health
department considers this as the major cause for health problems.

The workers union leaders reiterates that they won't allow anybody
from
outside to visit struggle site.
If this adament stand continues, health assistance will remain a
mirage for
 protesters.

The health department authorities says that workers yesterday bahaved
rudely
to the officials.
Their position is that no health camp will be allowed.

2. From Madhyamam
Workers attack Chengara activists

Pathanamthitta:Plantation workers beat up people coming out of
Chengara
struggle site on Friday.
Bhavani ( Harisree, Mavelikkara,50),Dinesh ( PuthanVeettil,
Kalayanad,24),Sujitha(18),Sosamma(madathara Road Puambokkil,48),Mani

health
problems and came out seeking treatment, said Laha
Gopalan,SadhuJanaSamyukthaVedi president.

Even in the midst of blockade, food utensils are being smuggled into
the
struggle site. But it si not enough to distribute
among all huts. many families are starving for days.
