India is likely to conduct trial of a new missile from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur here in nest few days.
For the purpose, as a precautionary measure, the villagers surrounding 2.5 km radius of the launch complex would be evacuated.
The shifting of the villagers would take place on Wednesday as well as on Thursday. The evacuees would be lodged in the earmarked temporary shelters from 6 am to 6 pm. They would be financially compensated as per prevailing guidelines.
The villages to be affected include Khadu Pahi, Kusumuli Pahi, Tundura Pahi, Chachina Pahi , Jaydevkasaba Pahi , Bhimura Pahi and Sahada Nagar Pahi.
Total 2,880 people along with their cattle and livestock would shifted. They would be provided shelter in three different places in Khadu, near Kali Mandir and Khadupahi UP School. Most likely ‘Barak’, an Indo- Israel joint venture missile, will be test-fired, said sources.
