Following the meeting, the Sangh by occupied over 30 acres of non-tribal land in the area by putting red-flags around it. Even the Sangh ploughed the occupied land claiming it to be their own to which the non-tribals have taken by deceit.

"These land belong to us which the non-tribals had taken by deceit from our forefathers. We have occupied these lands and have started ploughing them," said a CMAS activist who had attended the Sangh meeting.
