ସରପଞ୍ଚଙ୍କ ଆମରଣ ଅନଶନ ଚେତାବନୀ ପରେ ଆତ୍ମାହୁତି ଚେତାବନୀ, ପ୍ରଶାସନର ତତ୍ପରତା

According to Dharitri, administrative authorities in the Hatadihi block of Keonjhar district, Odisha, have taken urgent action following a protest and self-immolation threat issued by a local official. Prashant Kumar Raut, the Sarpanch of Bancho Panchayat, initiated an indefinite hunger strike to demand the removal of illegal encroachments on public government roads in his jurisdiction.

Following the Sarpanch's declaration that he would resort to self-immolation if his demands were not met, the local administration intervened to address the situation. The protest has become a significant issue within the region, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding land use and public infrastructure management in the Hatadihi block.

While the administration has expressed readiness to engage with the concerns raised, the incident underscores the challenges faced by local representatives in enforcing land regulations. Further developments are expected as officials work to resolve the encroachment dispute and address the grievances voiced by the Sarpanch.
