Thousands of Congress activists on Friday held a civil disobedience movement protesting against the district administration’s non-cooperation to the people’s representatives of Congress parties.
They took out a procession and reached at the collectorate and alleged that corruption rules the roost in Kendrapada district. “The district administration has not been respecting the opposition party MlAs and does not give importance to the Congress MlAs. On the other hand, the district administration has been dancing with the tunes of ruling BJD party leaders,” they said.
They further said that in Ali and Rajkanaika blocks, developmental works had been hampered due to vacancy of senior officials while many doctor posts were lying vacant.
“Though we are the people’s representatives, but the district officials have not been listening to our suggestions. large scale of corruption is made in the beneficiary lists under various Government sponsored schemes,” alleged Ali MlA Debendra Sharma. later, they made an attempt to enter forcibly at the collectorate where police detained 1,207 activists and later let them off.
