In the village of Jharigaon, a heated conflict broke out between two groups of villagers on Monday night, leaving 23 people injured. The cause of the clash was a dispute over the use of a forest land in Dhohadakote village, located in the Nabarangpur district. The injured individuals were taken to the local community health center and received immediate medical attention, with their conditions now reported as stable. The police in Jharigaon have launched an investigation into the matter, as both groups have filed separate complaints.
According to the villagers of Dhohadakote, they have been cultivating the land in question, known as Bangyani jungle, for many years after clearing the forest. However, tensions arose when the residents of Naksapadar, a neighboring village, began digging pits on the farmland of one Nila Jani in June. This sparked a dispute between the two villages, which escalated when the villagers of Naksapadar arrived with tractors and bikes and launched an attack on Dhohadakote late that Monday night. The Naksapadar villagers not only physically assaulted the residents of Dhohadakote but also invaded their homes.
One resident of Naksapadar, Manadhar Jani, claimed that he was personally attacked by some villagers of Dhohadakote near Kangra while he was planting in the reserve forest. He also stated that the Naksapadar villagers had initially gone to Dhohadakote for a peaceful discussion, but were met with aggression and violence from the other group. The situation quickly spiraled out of control, leaving many injured and causing chaos in the usually peaceful village of Jharigaon. The police are now working to gather more information and resolve the conflict between the two groups.
