Bhopal: The nomadic, semi-nomadic and gypsies--most of them listed among denotified tribes--appear to be one of the worst hit communities by the COVID-19 lockdown in the state. They cannot move from one place to another due to restrictions, their traditional sources of income have dried up and a very few of them have the documents to receive free ration from the state government. Madhya Pradesh has 51 denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, including Kanjars, Pardis, Sansis and Kuchbandhiyas, according to the Vimukt Ghummakkar Evam Ardhgummakkar Janjati Kalyan Vibhag, Madhya Pradesh which was separated from the Tribal Department in 2012. Even after seven years of its separation, the Department has no official data about the total population of these communities.
