MALKANGIRI: Protesting the State cabinet’s recent decision to make Chitrakonda
the block headquarters of the area in the place of Kudumulugumma after
reorganisation of blocks in Malkangiri District, the PRI members including a
Zilla Parishad member, Sarpanchs of four panchayats along with 56 ward members
under Kudumuluguma block tendered their resignation on Tuesday.
The PRI members attending a mass
rally, which was organised at Hatapada of Kudumuluguma, demanded the State
Government to rollback the decision of abolishing their block having all the
six gram panchayats of the cut-off area. Later, the PRI members handed over a
memorandum to the Collector in this regard.
The members of the Congress and
the rulling Biju Janata Dal supported the resignations.
“The Government should listen the
public, before taking any decision. If any untoward situation emerges in the
block regarding the issue, Government will be responsible for that,” said
Chitrakonda MLA Mamta Madhi.
The BJD leader Damburu Sisha
said, “We will not oppose the State Government, if it wants to form Chitrakonda
block, but it should not abolish the Kudumuluguma block.”
