Cholera killed 19 Korba tribals in Chhattisgarh. The reason: no access to medical aid, safe drinking water and roads. Despite government promises, they have no access to safe drinking water, roads, health care and education. Yet, government records in Jashpur district alone show that Rs 7.31 crores have been spent on their upliftment undre a special centrally funded project which took off almost five years ago.
