The villagers say the people of Murtiya-from where the Pradhan belonged- are threatening the children of Ubhha that if they step in their village, they will kill them.
On July 17, Uttar Pradesh’s Ubhbha village in Sonbhadra witnessed a massacre. 10 tribals were gunned down for land. The mass shooting had left 28 people injured. Since the news created a furore, people condemned it, officials were transferred, a lot of political drama happened. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the village while Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi staged a dharna. A month later, everyone has moved on but the people of this village have not and definitely not the innocent children.
Talking about Ubhbha village, there is only one primary school in a village. The population of the village is about 1200 but there is only one school and that too mind you is only from, classes 1 to 5. There is not a single junior secondary school and inter-college for studying after class 5.
