Ensure ration, housing for oustees: MLA
LOWER SUKTEL IRRIGATION PROJECT
Bolangir: Loisingha MLA Mukesh Mahaling took stock of the progress of the Lower Suktel Large Irrigation Project at the departmental guesthouse here. Project director, relocation & rehabilitation Mahendra Kumar Mahapatra, special land-acquisition officer Kumar Nagabhushan and executive engineer S Bhoi were present at the meeting.
Dr Mahaling examined the eviction and the relocation process in the affected villages of Pardhiapali, Koindapali and Khuntpali.
Sources said no rehabilitation colony has been constructed for the displaced people. As a result of which ousted families are moving around by their own efforts. Repeated requests not to displace the families during the rainy season have fallen on deaf ears. No one has an answer to how the displaced people are staying. If this is the scenario from the beginning of the relocation process, what condition will arise later, Dr Mahaling asked the officials.
