Topic: A village was left by farmers staying there because there was lack of resources there, some of the herders are using that land and some of their families are currently staying there. Now suddenly the village got irrigation facility through canal. Everyone is claiming rights on the land and nobody is in position to claim it legally. Government appoints village council as arbiter, however, there is a general perception that village council will favour people from outside for land distribution. What should the herders do?
