"A comprehensive policy for resettlement and rehabilitation of tribals is in advance stage and would be introduced by the Government soon after it is finalised," Mr Oram. Mr Oram said the Government was fully aware of the problems of the tribals who have been uprooted from their soil for execution of various schemes. He said the formation of a separate tribal affair ministry was aimed at addressing this as well as other issue facing the tribal community.
