In Keonjhar's Balanipasi village, an Anganwadi center has been converted into a bicycle shop by a landowner over a long-standing employment dispute. For the past two months, children have been forced to study under a tree in unhygienic conditions where midday meals are also prepared. The landowner, Ramesh Mahanta, claims he was promised a job in 1991 in exchange for the land, which hasn't been fulfilled, leading him to lock the building. https://sambad.in/district/keonjhar/anganwadi-centre-turned-cycle-shop-children-study-under-tree-keonjhar-12002208 #creator program
