SUDHIR MISHRA | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
Members
of Gyana Gadtya’s family of Pardhiapali village in the Lower Suktel Irrigation
Project area on Saturday staged a dharna before the Balangir district
Collector’ residence here protesting against the damages to their harvested
paddy crop and vegetable cultivation and highhandedness of the police on
Friday.
“We had gone to another
village to attend a social function. When we got the news (about land
acquisition), we rushed back only to find that our paddy stored in the yarn has
been damaged, our brinjal cultivation has been destroyed by the police. The
police also arrested our other family members,” a sobbing Gyana Gadtya told
mediapersons here.
“There are no
intellectuals in Balangir. Had intellectuals been active, they would have
protested the inhuman act of the police,” said family member Kabi Gadtya.
Four persons were
arrested on Friday as they obstructed the construction lower the irrigation project
at the dam site at Pardhiapali. A case has been registered at the Sadar police
station in this connection. A juvenile has been handed over the Child Welfare
Committee and a woman has been released on bail while the three others would
also be released,” said Balangir SP Ravi Prakash to this correspondent.
“We had tried to serve
the eviction notice to them earlier five times. I have sent a team of officials
to inquire into the damages there and take necessary steps after inquiry,” said
district Collector M Muthukumar,
