CITIZENS CLOSE B’NGIR DM OFFICE, DEMAND BYPASS CONSTRUCTION
Thursday, 08 August 2013 | PNS | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
==============================================

Members of the Balangir Action Committee led by its president Gopalji Pangrahi on Wednesday staged a dharna before district Collectorate here demanding early execution of ring road and bypass of NH-26 and NH-57 at Balangir town and early payment of compensation to displaced villagers in the Lower Suktel Irrigation Project.
The agitators forced closure of the Collectorate while members of the youth wing of the Action Committee led by Santosh Singh Deo also closed the Lower Suktel Project office.
Additional District Magistrate, Balangir Sadhab Minz, who received the memorandum from the agitators, informed that a revised estimate for the bypass and ring road has been sent to the Central Government. He appealed to the agitators to withdraw the strike and lift the closure of the Collectorate as common people would be affected due to non-functioning of the office. The agitators, however, did not respond to his request.
In an another interesting development, several people gheraoed the Town police station for a while, demanding early arrest of the culprits involved in the Raju Nag murder case.
However, denying that people had gheraoed the police station, Balangir SDPO Narayan Nayak said, “People had come to know the progress of the investigation into the Raju Nag murder case. We are examining the incident from all angles, taking the incident seriously.”
