Tentulidihi village in Koida block of Sundargarh district is suffering from severe malnutrition, anemia, and poverty despite being in a mineral-rich area. Over 80 families live in dire conditions without proper access to government housing, full pensions, or healthcare. Children are skeletal and elderly residents are starving, often relying on traditional roots for medicine due to lack of funds for hospitals. The BDO has acknowledged the issues and promised to expedite the inclusion of eligible beneficiaries in welfare schemes.
