Tribal Couple Yoked To Plough, Made To Till Land

The Rayagada district administration in Odisha has ordered a probe into the incident of a tribal couple having been forcibly yoked to a plough on their shoulders and made to till land like oxen as a measure of purification for marrying within the family. The incident took place in Kanjamajodi village under Shikarpai panchayat in Kalyansinghpur block on Wednesday but videos surfaced only on Friday, drawing widespread outrage. The couple was punished before being forced to leave the village. The couple, Kadia Saraka and Laku Saraka, are from the same community and are blood relatives. Both work as labourers.
