Sir Namaste,

Hon’ble Sir,
I am writing this request with my heart filled with deep compassion and regret about the state of the person who gave away their all, land, livelihood for the cause of nation and in return what they got is mere fewwords of sympathetic verbal assurances. My concern is for the people of Saintala of Bolangir District of Odisha State.

Since last 11years the Government of India established an Ordinance Factory, Keeping in view its strategic geographical position and availability of Land for the purpose. In the process of Land Acquisition hundreds of families lost they land holdings their number is 634. In the process the displaced people were given with a B-Card with an assurance that very soon they all will get due compensation and placement in the Ordinance Factory, the Bolangir Collector has also sent one special secretary to pursue the matter.

The Collector has also written letter to the Home Ministry of Government of India vide Letter No.-56 AEA on Dt-20.01.2007, it is since last four years the report of Collector still pending with the ministry of Home. Home Ministry of State should write to the Government of India, (Production and Supply) basing on the report of Collector, Bolangir for taking necessary steps for the settlement. With regards to employment to the displace families in the Ordinance Factory, The Chairman,Ordinance Factory, Kolkatais approval is necessary which is still pending with the Chairman.

The process which should have started 11years back is still to be started, keeping this in mind the Collector, Bolangir in his Letter Dt-19.05.2010 vide his Letter No.-864 has requested the Chief Secretary to Government of Odisha to accelerate the process so that the people to this area could benefit and get their legal benefit.

For your information the people’s wait is taking it own toll and thinking of taking the matter to the roads to protest their legal demands.

I request you good self to kindly take necessary steps at your level so the people can benefit and get their legitimate rights. In the process, your intervention could benefit the people largely. I hope that your kind heart could feel the problems of the people and their justified demands.

 Yours truly
