Debrigarh village under the Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctury will relocate. The villagers agreed to the proposal of the government in a pallisabha held at the village.
Each family will be provided a compensation of Rs 10 lakh because the government was facing problem in providing basic facilities to the natives. The village is located inside the Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctury so government was facing problem in providing facilities or executing any government schemes. Now the villagers will migrate leaving their paternal place.
Debrigarh wildlife sanctuary located at Ambabhona block of Bargarh district. This village was established by freedom fighter Veer Surendra Sai. Village is a silent witness of the freedom struggle. The villager uses the jungle for their livelihood. The villagers repeatedly pleading the government to provide basic facilities but the government was failing as it was inside the jungle.
Finally the villagers considering the future of their new generation agreed to relocate. The Pallisabha was organized in the presence of the R.I., B.D.O, local Sarpanch and ward members along with the officers of forest department.
