Members of Gyana Gadtya’s family of Pardhiapali village in the Lower Suktel Irrigation Project area on Saturday staged a dharna before the Balangir district Collector’ residence here protesting against the damages to their harvested paddy crop and vegetable cultivation and highhandedness of the police on Friday. 
“We had gone to another village to attend a social function. When we got the news (about land acquisition), we rushed back only to find that our paddy stored in the yarn has been damaged, our brinjal cultivation has been destroyed by the police. The police also arrested our other family members,” a sobbing Gyana Gadtya told mediapersons here.
“There are no intellectuals in Balangir. Had intellectuals been active, they would have protested the inhuman act of the police,” said family member Kabi Gadtya.

A case has been registered at the Sadar police station in this connection. A juvenile has been handed over the Child Welfare Committee and a woman has been released on bail while the three others would also be released,” said Balangir SP Ravi Prakash to this correspondent.
