Villagers are demonstrating against a rice mill due to the pollution it is causing.

On a Monday morning in Keonjhar, a group of passionate locals gathered in front of the Narayani Rice Mill in Kuapashi village. Women and men alike came together to protest against the pollution and other pressing issues caused by the mill. The village of Badapatana panchayat, located under Patna block of Keonjhar district, was buzzing with frustration and determination as the villagers demanded justice.

With loud voices and determined spirits, the villagers made it clear that they would not back down until their demands were met. One of their main concerns was the pollution being spread by the rice mill, which they accused the authorities of neglecting. The villagers claimed that their crops and cashew fields were being destroyed by the wastewater released by the mill. This had caused great distress and loss for the farmers in the area.

But it wasn't just the agricultural land that was being affected. The villagers also shared heartbreaking stories of their livestock falling ill and dying after drinking the contaminated water. These poor villagers, already struggling to make ends meet, were now facing even more hardships due to the pollution caused by the rice mill.

The demands of the villagers did not stop there. They also demanded that the land belonging to one of their elderly locals, which was allegedly encroached by the mill owner, be freed. Additionally, they called for job opportunities for the local youth, who were struggling to find employment in the area.

Despite the passionate protests, the manager of the rice mill had no response to the allegations made by the villagers. This only added to the frustration and anger of the locals, who were determined to continue their fight until justice was served. As the sun set on Kuapashi village, the villagers vowed to return the next day with even more determination and resilience. They were not going to give up until their voices were heard and their demands were met.
