Even though the State
Government is making tall claims of bringing job opportunities for the poor at
their doorsteps through MGNREGS, a report of some villagers migrating from
Balangir district to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh for earning livelihood and
subsequently returning harassed proves the claims wrong.
According to reports,
12 members of four families belonging to Sargul village of Ichhapada Grampanchyat
under the Muribahal block had gone to work in brick kilns of Moudipalam in
Vishakhapatnam district in January 2014. They had taken advance money from two
local sardars before leaving the village.Recently when these people wanted to
back home the kiln owner reportedly refused to give them leave. Aggrieved at
this, four male of them, Giridhri Haripal, Ashok Benia, Kunu Deep and Bidyadhar
Kalet, left the kiln without others’ notice and reached Sargul a few days back.
“We are worried about
the condition of female members and children left there,” lamented Bhajaram
Sahu, an NGO activist.Meanwhile, Balangir SP Ravi Prakash talked to the
Additional SP of Vishakhapatnam on the matter. The Vishakhapatnam SP assured
that he would take necessary steps to protect the rest of family members left
in the brick kiln, Prakash told The Pioneer.
