Hello, greetings. I am Virendra Gandhar from Rajnandgaon village, Chhattisgarh. Devakar ji, you asked why the CGNet that used to run was shut down. No official reason was given for stopping it, but I feel that you may have heard that members of the CGNet team often used to talk with people who were victims of Naxalism. Because there were frequent conversations with Naxal-affected people, maybe some action was taken against it and that is why it was shut down. But if, instead of CGNet, you want to listen to Chhattisgarh’s “Keral” (voice platform), there is a Mobile Vaani for Chhattisgarh. Its number is 92 666 51 222 (nine two, six six six, five one, two two two). If you give a missed call on this number, it will start. That channel is currently almost empty because not many people are recording messages anymore. I also stopped recording for a while. I activated it again today, but no one’s message came. If all of us pay attention and record messages, then the number of messages will increase. Because people are not recording, there are very few messages coming in. You should also record, and others should record too, so that our Chhattisgarh channel keeps running. On CGNet, many recordings used to come, even from different states, but that is not happening here. The reason CGNet was shut down seems to be this—that there were frequent discussions related to victims of Naxalism. Many times it was learned that members of the CGNet team faced objections, and several times they were even attacked.
