Tussle with Police during Jail Bharo at Bhuban
Bhuban, (ONS):Tussle occurred with Police force during the Jail Bharo movement at Bhuban led by BJP leader Er Debashisha
Hota supporting the Farmers’ cause.
Tension arouse when more than 2 thousand poor farmers from different villages of Bhuban Block coming to attend the Jail Bharo are detained by BJD goons in presence of local police at Shyamal, Tipilei & Balijhati.
This enraged another 2 thousand poor farmers from Asurabandha Chromite Mines Area, Bhuban NAC & Nearby villages waiting with Er Hota for the Jail Bharo. Then all led by Er Hota moved towards Shyamal where BJD goons detained the farmers.
Police obstacle the path of Er Hota & others at Kalibazar of Bhuban NAC, which caused the tussle. Then the protestors sit on Dharana on the same spot & urged to arrest them.
Listening regarding this serious law & order situation, the SP Basant Kumar Panigrahi rushed to Bhuban police station.
Then a 7 member delegation comprising of Ahurabandha Chromite Mines Area Praja Samiti President Pitabash Tarai, Vice President Krupasindhu Majhi, Secretary Kalandi Charan Behera, Assistant Secretary Gourang Behera, Treasurer Ashok Majhi and loser farmer Raghunath Behera were taken to Bhuban PS alongwith Er Hota by senior police officers for discussion with SP.
The discussion of the delegation with SP Sri Panigrahi lasts for more than half an hour. SP assured to fulfill all demands of the farmers.
Then the Additional SP Harekrushna Pradhan accompanied the delegation and conveyed the assurance of SP to the demonstrators after which the Jail Bharo postponed.
Here noteworthy that, before 1 Month, one Poor Farmer Raghunath Behera’s daughter Sushree Chetana complained that Chromite Mines Company Real India Consultancy Owner Kutabuddin Ahmed has destroyed her Farm Land. Bhuban IIC enquired the matter, called Kutabuddin to Police Station. But, Kutabuddin disobeyed the orders of the IIC. Then the IIC Registered F.I.R. No. 0001 on 4th January 2018 and assured to Arrest him.
Unfortunately, already 1 Month has been Passed away and still the accused has been scot-free. This create a rumour by the employees of the Mines Company that since Kutabuddin is very Rich having links with most powerful political leaders of our state, the poor farmers are deprived of justice by the Local Police.
More than 5 thousand farmers led by most popular mass leader of Kamakhyanagar Assembly Constituency Er Hota, planned for a Jail Bharo movement in protest against this callousness & inaction of local police.
But, unfortunately, BJD goons plotted by Energy & Mines Minister & Local MLA Prafulla Mallick, obstructed more than 2 thousand poor farmers from different villages of Bhuban Block coming to attend the Jail Bharo at Shyamal, Tipilei & Balijhati. This is a failed attempt of the harassed minister Mallick to check the mass spontaneous support rising exponentially day by day in favour of Er. Hota and we condemn this childish attitude of a cabinet minister, district secretary Sri Behera told on this occasion.
Altough BJD goons detained the vehicles of poor farmers, they preferred to walk & reach at Kalibazar. This shows they don’t care such political goons. I appeal the voters of Bijepur to vote for BJP to teach a lesson the BJD Pravari & Minister Mallick who have dared to plot BJD goons for harassing poor farmers, Er Hota said.
