Keonjhar, 29th Oct 2025: A demand for the formation of a new Janghira block was made today at a well-attended meeting held at Janghira Hatpadia, covering the panchayats of Hunda, Janghira, Pithagola, Junga, Baksibarigaon, Budhakhman, Tentlapashi, Jirang, Talpada, Baragada, and Gonasika.
Currently, these panchayats fall under the Harichandanpur block. Due to the distance of more than 30 km from the block headquarters, residents face difficulties in accessing services, as even a single trip can take an entire day.
At the meeting, participants proposed forming a new block at Janghira, including all the above-mentioned panchayats as well as neighboring Ghatgaon and Patilo panchayats. Prior to this, letters of demand had been submitted to the MLA, MP, District Collector, and the Chief Minister.
The meeting was attended by senior citizens Ramesh Chandra Sahu, Ramesh Chandra Mishra, Anil Kumar Bhitria, Bharat Pradhan, Sudam Charan Nayak, Vijay Kumar Nayak, Achyut Pradhan, Baidhar Juang, Lachhman Das, Prasanna Kumar Nayak, Sumanta Kumar Prusti, along with sarpanches, committee members, and ward members from various panchayats.
