Activists warn of rapid spread among isolated communities
With the second wave of COVID-19 sweeping across rural heartland of Odisha, infections are being reported among the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
As many as 21 tribals across eight different PVTGs in the State have so far tested positive, including two from the Bonda tribe, known for its secluded lifestyle. Bondas live in highlands, 3,500-feet above sea level, in Malkangiri, the southern-most district of Odisha.
“Three days ago, Malakangiri district administration conducted a mass testing drive at Mudulipada a Bonda village. Two of them tested positive. Since they live in close proximity, we have isolated the two infected persons,” said P. Arthanari, Project director of Odisha PVTG Empowerment and Livelihood Improvement.
State Tribal Museum offers a dope on Lanjia Saora attire
Bhubaneswar, Jan 16: With the Covid-19 yet to be tamed, museums in the state are working on a virtual mode. The state tribal museum is no different. It offers its visitors a grand tour of the museum as well as an exclusive video on Lanjia Saora attire in a virtual mode.
The Lanjia Saora community lives in a scattered settlement in Gajapati and Raygada districts. The men are easily recognized by their distinct attire. Be it coarse cotton clothes, their white loin cloth, with red fringes locally called Arsiolekan, is worn so that both the embodied ends hang down in the front and back like a tail or Lanja. The draping of this garment gives the community the name Lanjia Saora. Tribal lifestyle writer Debashis Patra said, “The uniqueness of this tribe can be seen through these amazing videos where their clothes depict more about their lifestyles in particular.”
