There are a few hapless migrant families in the district here who have been held captive in the brick kilns of Andhra Pradesh, where they undergo all trials and tribulations. 
While during the Nuankhai, family members from far and wide congregate at home in western Odisha to celebrate the grant festival and get blessing from the seniors, for these families, who are destined to live amid penury, mental and physical torture, the festival has little meaning.
According to reports, the family members of Laxman Chirangula of Munapali of Belpada block, who had migrated to brick kilns of Andhra Pradesh last year, are not permitted to go home. They are virtually held captives by the owners of the kilns.
According to a petition by Jata Chirangula, father of Laxman, to the District Collector, one Madhu Kumbhar of Belpada had taken his son, wife and four children to work in the brick kilns of Andhra Pradesh, a year ago and ever since they have not returned home. “When I lodged a complaint with the Belpada police, they did not take any action,” alleged Jatan Chirangul and appealed to the district administration to rescue his son and other family members from Madhapur in Hydrabad.
