BPL beneficiaries denied their share

RAIRAKHOL: For villagers of Kelakata, Kendukata, Purnagarh, Basakia, Bhaluchuan, Chatuni and Dimrikuda and Rampur gram panchayats, their inclusion into semi-urban Rairakhol NAC has cost them dear. Earlier, a part of Rairakhol block, today they are at crossroads deprived of their legitimate rights. As per reports, 1,191 persons of Rairakhol block were BPL card holders. After formation of Rairakhol NAC on March 1, 1999, a fresh survey of BPL families was undertaken by NAC authorities ignoring the existing 1,191 beneficiaries and sent the list to government for approval.
