The members made a written complaint to the MLA about the illegal encroachment of CNT land in Chaibasa by non-tribals.

Apart from this, there is illegal occupation of hundreds of acres of CNT land by non-tribals in Dumbisai, Diliamarcha, Khaparsai, Sufalsai, Matkamahatu, Neemdih areas. Due to the help of corrupt officials, action is not being taken against these occupants despite complaints. Vinod Kumar Sawaiyan also raised the problem of displacement due to Kuju Dam.
