Sambalpur: A tense situation erupted between Dhanupali & Gobindtola people on the second day of the seizure demolition

Sambalpur: On the second day of demolition between Dhanupali and Govindtola, there was a tense situation. While there is 72 feet of official space for the road, most of the people from both sides have gone ahead and built permanent or temporary structures, but when the said seizure demolition is removed and this 72 feet of official space is taken out, there is tension.

There is a dispute between the authorities and the local people regarding the distance from the government land and where the land starts. For that, multiple bar measurements have to be taken. In spite of this, in the presence of the police force, many shops, houses and extended structures were destroyed on Wednesday. However, those who have said that they will remove the extended part themselves, they have been given time on Thursday Ramanavami day. If not, the machine will be installed again on Friday and will be vandalized, SM fund promotion officer Subhankar Mohanty said. While BJP leader Surya Panigrahi welcomed the lifting of the seizure, he accused the common people of showing favoritism by lifting the seizure. He said in a statement that there is a lack of coordination between the revenue department, the department and the metropolitan corporation. He demanded complete abolition of all forms of seizure without showing favor to anyone.
