Protesting against poor road communications, locals of six villages, Saledamak, Suliamaal, Ekkagudi, Taalbahal, lamkani and Kharibahal, under Kumbhari gram panchayat in Saintala block have threatened to boycott the ensuing Assembly and lok Sabha elections.
Earlier, the villagers had submitted petitions to Saintala BDO, Titilagarh MlA Surendra Singhbhoi and Balangir MP Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo demanding inclusion of roads from the Kumbhari Chowk to Saledamak village. But the plea fell on deaf ears, alleged a local. At long last, we decided to boycott the ensuing polls, said the villagers, who had come to the district Collectorate to submit a petition.
