BPL households deprived of BPL rice
When tons of grains are rotting in the go downs of India, the poor villagers in Sardhapur village of Nuapada district are deprived of their right to BPL grains.
It is a matter of great surprise and concern that forty four BPL house holds of Ward Number 8 of Sardhapur Panchayat in Khariar block have not been provided the BPL cards although they are enlisted as BPL in the 1997 BPL list (Page 92 of the list). The villagers have reported that they have been deprived of their rights and benefits for last 10 years.
These villagers have requested the block and the DRDA officials time and again about this but no one has listened to them. It is difficult to understand why the concerned officials have failed to address such an urgent issue. Who is responsible / accountable for such insensible action ?
Forty out of the total neglected households belong to two Adivasi groups (Gond and Paharia). You ask the people and they will answer – “the government officials are snatching our daily food for last 2 elections”.
22 households of the mentioned deprived families live in Jubrajpur hamlet (part of the Ward – 8) of Sardhapur village which is at a distance of 3 kms from the main village. The children and the women can not cover this distance to reach to the Anganwadi centre to take their share. They have demanded their names to be included in the list of Majhipada Anganwadi centre located half km far from their village. But their demand has not been accepted.
The BDO, Khariar was informed about this matter a few days back. Verifying the BPL list available in the block office, he has found that the matter is true. The villagers say that all the previous BDOs have also found this truth but no one has taken the step to frovide them their share.
There is no accountability. Thus there will not be any urgent action also.
