Accept Comprehensive Bastar Revival Plan, refrain from filing review petition in Salwa Judum case

The standoff between the two sides of the ongoing civil war in Bastar is causedby differing views on 'development' and yet, Ironically, it's the development (which must be defined and designed amicably) that's the real casualty. Rigidity on both ends has completely paralysed the welfare state, so much so, even voluntary forces have been forced out, leaving the godforsaken aboriginals in lurch. Despite being a much discussed-debated subject no clear, practical & unbiased roadmap has been suggested so far. To fill this void, and to veer the discourse towards a swift & peaceful resolution, Raipur-based youth group Caucus on Policy Inputs (CoPI) is releasing a basic draft of the proposed roadmap. This draft will be disseminated-discussed widely within and outside the state by the group and all of you are humbly requested to put forward your suggestions.
