KORAPUT: Residents of Konga panchayat under Jeypore block in Koraput district have opposed the construction of an explosives godown by a private company alleging it will affect their livelihood and put lives at risk. The villagers have submitted a memorandum to the district administration demanding withdrawal of the proposal.
“I have 7.5 acres of land adjacent to the proposed explosives godown. I have taken a loan to set up a poultry farm and to do pisciculture and my livelihood will be hit,” said Trilochan Biswar, a local resident.
“The complaint made by the villagers will be submitted to the administration for necessary action,” additional DM Rajendra Majhi said.
