They urged him to announce a special DSC to recruit teachers from tribal communities in Scheduled Tribal areas and to maintain status quo of a government order number 3.

They regretted that they were unable to get due statutory benefits due to inclusion of Lambadas in the STs.

They reasoned that the community was included in the list without following procedure mentioned in the Indian constitution. They warned that they would launch protests across the district if the government failed to utter its stand on the issues of the tribals.
