The Balangir
district Collector M Muthukumar on Wednesday informed that nearly 80 per cent
people of the two villages, Pardhiapali and Koindapali, affected by the Lower
Suktel Irrigation Project have already been compensated and the rest 20 per
cent would be given compensation very shortly.
After chairing the first
project-level rehabilitation and resettlement committee meeting, the Collector
said eviction notice would soon be issued to the residents of the two
villages.
“We also discussed the
revocation of Section 144 at the project site and the demand of the affected
people for compensation as per the new Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation Act
2013. A decision to this effect will be taken shortly,” the Collector informed.
“Unless we are compensated as per the new Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation
Act 2013, we will continue to oppose the project,” said a villager of
Pardhiapali.
Meanwhile, the Budi
Anchal Sangram Parishad continued its dharna at Pardhiaapali opposing the
construction of dam while project work continued at the project site.
