Hazaribagh (Jharkhand), May 04 (ANI): In a unique campaign, election awareness messages to educate and motivate tribals to cast their vote are stuck on trees in Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh. The awareness program was held in Doodhmatiya jungle of Hazaribagh which is around 30 kilometres away from the district center. A group of people, not associated with any organisation, has taken the initiative to aware the voters who live in and around the jungles. Talking about the motive of such a unique awareness campaign, Shambhu, one of the individuals associated with this campaign said, “We are doing it for the tribals. They do not know about voting. As they mainly live in jungles, we are trying this way. They will see and read these things and go to polling booths.” Doodhmatiya is the same jungle where Tie Rakhi (a sacred thread) Campaign started in 1995 to save trees. A school teacher Mahadev Mahato started this and associated this with religion. Later this unique approach was recognised across the country.
