Baniyabandh villagers rise from Red shadow, transform lives through bamboo craftsmanship

Once a Maoist den, Baniyabandh village now thrives on bamboo crafts, a testament to resilience. Villagers, formerly involved in illegal activities, have embraced traditional skills, rebuilding livelihoods. Despite this progress, poor road connectivity hinders market access, forcing them to sell at low prices. They appeal for government aid to improve infrastructure and marketing.
