A large number of people, including farmers and Congress workers, led by Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly Narsingha Mishra staged a rally at the district Collectorate here on Friday in protest against State Government’s lackadaisical attitude towards farmers’

problems.

Later, a party delegation comprising Mishra, Jharsguguda MLA Naba Dash and former Assembly Speaker Kishore Patel held discussion with district Collector M Muthukumar on farmer issues and, particularly, wanted to know why lift irrigation points in Agalpur block and other areas, have not been repaired yet.

Mishra too wanted to know why the Laxmijore improvement work has not been started even as sanctioned money of `10.67 has been lying with the district administration since long.

They submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Pattnaik through the Collector.

The Congress demanded that all the gram panchyats, four municipalities and the NAC should be declared as drought-affected and financial assistance should be given to farmers at the earliest.

The party sought compensation of `20,000 per acre of crop loss, waiver of farm loans, steps for improvement of all water bodies, including Sagar Katas Mudas, restoration of lift irrigation points and compensation of `10 lakh to family of each of deceased farmers who have committed suicide for crop loss and loan burden.

Besides, they wanted provision of drinking water in all villages and towns though tanker and ration cards for all deserving people within two months.

Collector Muthukumar assured the team of necessary steps towards their demands. The agricultural input subsidy would be given to farmers from November 10, said Muthukumar.

Later, addressing a huge gathering at Kosal Kala Mandal, Mishra, besides making above demands, demanded for setting up of a agricultural university at Balangir and a railway wagon factory at Kantabaji.

“Anybody who will talk or work against development of Balangir district, people will never excuse them,” contended Mishra

Among others, Samraendra Mishgra, Sudhir Parischha, BibhuprasadTarai, Kishore Patel, AshokNanda and  Laxman Meher spoke. Ashok Nanda presided over the meeting.

Coach indicators and an electronic display board on train timings would be installed at the Balangir railway station by January 2016.

Sambalpur DRM DK Singh, who visited the railway station on Saturday, said this while responding to a query of our correspondent. Notably, the Railways have already sanctioned for installation of coach indicators and a train display board here.

The entire station was cleaned up ahead of his visit.

A delegation of BJP Yuva Morcha activists led by Dinesh Sharma submitted a memorandum to the DRM demanding installation of these systems and other facilities at the railway station.

The DRM went around the station and asked the officials to take steps to keep chairs at proper places and ensure lighting and water supply facilities at the station.

It would be pertinent to mention that due to absence of coach indicators, commuters are getting confused during night hours to find out coaches within stipulated times.

This problem was first highlighted in The Pioneer and subsequently the systems were sanctioned by the Railways.

The authorities had also promised to install four CCTV cameras at the railway station.

Before the Railway Budget, Balangir MP Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo had also raised these demands.

Members of the Ang irrigation project committee led by Akash Mishra, former MP Balgopal Mishra and many other farmer leaders of Agalpur, Loisingha on Tuesday marched in the town demanding declaration of Balangir district as “total drought-hit”.

Earlier, the Ang irrigation project committee members had demanded that unless the Government declares the district as drought area, it would

gherao the district Collectorate. Farmers also declared to stage a hunger strike.

Criticising the Naveen Patnaik Government for its anti-farmer policy,  Bolagopal Mishra said the district should be declared as drought-affected.

The agricultural loan given to farmers should be waived totally. In India, if the industry sector can be given subsidy of around `3 lakh crore, why the farmers’ loan cannot be waived, Mishra asked. Farmers should be given remunerative price for their crops, Misha added.

Kosal Dal leader Pramod Mishra, Gopalji Panigrahi, Basu Pati and many other leaders of different organisations of the district were also present. They submitted a memorandum to the district administration.
