SUKTEL VILLAGERS DEMAND DUE COMPENSATION
Friday, 30 January 2015 |
PNS | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
Villagers of the Lower
Suktel Irrigation Project area at Khuntpali, Koindapali, Pardhiaapali,
KagsaBhal and Barpudgia on Thursday staged a road blockade near Barpudgia on
the Balangir-Patnagarh road in different phases for nearly three hours, as a
result of which vehicular movement was hit badly. The agitating villagers
demanded implementation of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013 and payment of
compensation to them as per the Act.
They withdrew the Rasta
Roko after an hour-long discussion with Balangir Sub-Collector Bimal Prasad
Mohanty, SDPO Narayan Naik and Additional SP B Yugal Kishore. The villagers had
also staged a daylong Rasta Roko on Wednesday. In another development, in view
of the Water Resources Secretary Pradeep Jena’s visit to Balangir on Thursday
and his expected talks with the project-affected villagers, police detained
around 20 people before releasing them later.
