Land encroachments hit Boinda’s development Post News Network
Boinda: Massive land grabbing by mafias has left Boinda town under Kishorenagar block in Angul district with little space to build office buildings or carry out development projects.
Encroachments are on the rise at Boinda Chowk, the business hub of Athmallik sub-division. Due to its proximity to National Highway-55, people are interested to buy lands near Boinda Chowk.
Cashing in on it, the mafia and middlemen have been selling government lands at throwaway prices, Rs 50,000 a ‘gunth’. These land sharks carry out their business in connivance with staff in the revenue department.

Bhadrak (Odisha) [India], January 10 (ANI): After the COVID-19 pandemic claimed thousands of job across the country, an engineer in Bhadrak district of Odisha turned horticulturist to utilise his time in the period of lockdown after losing his job. During the lockdown period, I had lost my job. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to start a sapling production centre at my village despite blaming the government for my job loss, Shanti Swarup Mishra who used to work in Bengaluru told ANI. I can help to protect nature by planting trees for free in various places by the help of various social organisations. Till date, I have sold more than 2,00,000 saplings to the market and over 50,000 saplings are in stock, Mishra said while speaking to ANI.
