From Devotion to Detonations: Illegal Stone Quarrying Threatens Bhaludunguri Hill in Balangir

Concerns are rising over the destruction of hill heritage in Balangir district, where researchers and locals have demanded tourism recognition for 32 identified hills in the region. However, illegal stone quarrying and frequent blasting activities around Bhaludunguri Hill (also known locally as Bhalubudha Hill) have triggered fear and outrage among residents. What was once a sacred site filled with devotional songs and Indra Puja rituals is now echoing with explosion sounds. The hill is located near Gunimunda village under the jurisdiction of Tushura and Saintala tehsils. Villagers from around 18 nearby villages traditionally gathered here to perform Indra Puja during times of drought, praying for rainfall. Currently, more than 15 stone quarries are allegedly operating around the hill. Residents claim detonator wires are left scattered carelessly, increasing the risk of accidents. The unchecked mining is threatening not only the ecological balance but also the religious and cultural heritage of the area. Locals have also alleged irregularities in stone transportation and processing between different tehsils, raising serious administrative concerns. #Balangir #BhaludunguriHill #OdishaNews #IllegalMining #SaveOurHills #TourismDemand #StoneMafia #EnvironmentalConcern #IndraPuja #GroundReport Kanak News is Odisha's leading 24x7 news and current affairs TV channel from Eastern Media Limited.
