Villagers of Badtelenpali
in the Lower Suktel Project area in Balangir district led by Samajwadi Party
leader Arun Mishra on Monday submitted a petition to district Collector M
Muthukumar demanding engagement in Kendu leaf plucking.
In the petition, the
villagers alleged that while Badtelenpali consist of two Wards, villagers of
only one ward are given Kendu leaf plucking work. “Due to arbitrary policy of
Munshi, a temporary kendu leaf employee, they were not provided the bush
cutting work in February.
Moreover, the
Munshi has not called us for plucking of Kendu leaves this month, whereas
villagers of another ward are engaged in the same,” said a villager. After
getting complaints, Balangir DM Ashok Naik spoke to Divisional Forest Officer
(Kenduleaf) PK Sahu, who assured the villagers to look into the matter.
