Land Conflict Summary

The government is executing a 102-km long railway line project in Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) Model, in the Duburi- Angul -Sukinda mining belt in the upcoming Kalinga Nagar industrial complex in Odisha. It will also provide rail connectivity to Kamakhya Nagar and Bhuban in Dhenkanal district. The government is claiming that not a single person will be displaced, however, people living in 49 villages in Dhenkanal, seven in Angul and 13 in Jajpur districts will lose their agricultural land.
The government sent the land acquisition notices to the villagers in the year 2007.
The conflict started when the affected villagers under the banner of Duburi- Angul -Sukinda- Railway line Khyatigrasta Chasi Suraksha Committee (Committee for the Protection of Farmers Affected by Duburi- Angul -Sukinda Railway line) demanded higher compensation as per the market rate and land for land. On March 22, 2016, the villagers vehemently protested when construction of the railway line started. The work was stopped for nearly two hours. However, the work resumed after police rushed to the spot and detained 8 persons. In 2019, it was reported that due to the persistent clashes between the locals and railway project officials, the latter sought police protection. In January agitating locals stopped ground levelling work for the line. In response, a platoon of police led by Kalinganagar ASP was deployed.
On 7th January, 2020, 50 local adivasi women came to the railway construction site and threatened to commit mass suicide alleging that the construction for the tracks had started without their consent and the payment of proper compensation to the villagers. It was reported on 5th February 2021, that the Angul-Sukinda Road, part of the broader railway project (98.7km) has received a budget grant of Rs 400 crore against last year's 450 crore and that 65% of the project has already been completed with the remainder estimated to being completed by the end of the year. Further, in May 2021, the Tehsildar of Jajpur, Bulbul Mehra, informed LCW that there has been no recent local agitation towards the Angul Sukinda railway project due to the recent lockdown.
