Chhatrapur: The Sana Aryapalli Village Committee has approached the Ganjam district administration, demanding immediate implementation of the displacement policy by India Rare Earths Ltd. (IREL), construction of houses at designated rehabilitation sites and a permanent solution to coastal erosion.
It alleged that the village faces the risk of being submerged by the sea while IREL has failed to fulfil its commitments.
Committee members submitted a memorandum to Additional District Magistrate Devadatta Panda and Chhatrapur Sub-Collector Sibasish Baral during the district-level grievance hearing at the DRDA complex.
Meanwhile, the Irrigation department has submitted a draft detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed Aryapalli coastal erosion mitigation project.
The delegation was led by committee President B. Seema and included Ganjam district fishermen leader and General Secretary B. Bhimsen, the vice president, former general secretary and other community leaders.
