RETIRED EXECUTIVE ENGINEER OF HIRAKUD MAIN DAM PROJECT ABDUCTED 29/03/2012
ODISHA NEWS / SAMBALPUR:
SIDDHARTHA SHANKAR MISHRA, BUREAU CHIEF, THESE DAYS, ODISHA
(COVERED ALONG WITH SENIOR CORRESPONDENT :-SANGRAM KESARI PANDA)
Mr. Bhikari Charan Mishra has been abducted since last four days. The police is clueless about the abductors.
He belongs to Dash Batali which is now in Bargarh district. After his retirement he purshaced a land in Srirampur of Golgunda which comes under RI Circle A, Katapali, under the jurisdiction of Burla Police Station. After constructing his house , he was living alone. On the 4th noon of 25th march his whereabouts is not known.
His son Mr. Asutosh Mishra who is living outside state came and lodged an FIR at Burla PS. The police started the case against the abductors u/s 365 I.P.C., BEARING Burla PS/Case No – 62, dated 23rd March 2012. Inspector D.R.Gadtiya , who is in charge of Sambalpur University outpost has been appointed as the Investing Officer of the case.
The police has started raiding different places of Burla, Sambalpur and nearby areas, in spite of several efforts of the police, the police is helpless ad clueless.
Mr. Mishra’s daughter who is at present residing at Kolkatta tried many a times giving calls and sms to her father’s mobile , but no answer from her father side. As the handset is switched off no further sms could be sent. His entire family in tense and shocked now.
Under the above circumstances it has posed a big challenge to the police now. The Police has arranged a team for the inspection in which Mr. Mihir Kumar Panda of Burla PS, IIC., along with Sanjeeb Satpathy, Kethrajpur., IIC, Mr. Ranjan Mahapatra ( Law Inspector) and Mr R.K.Mallick., IIC Hirakud , P.S. are playing a major role.
Neglected parents? Whose fault is it? The parents? The children’s? The change in our society? The extended family breaking up and becoming nuclear? The high cost of living forcing young people to go overseas looking for work? Sharing the parental home with the resultant overcrowding and lack of privacy? Perhaps all of the above are the causative factors.
These senior citizens felt very bitter about their situation. Several elders blamed their children for neglecting them.
How big is this problem? I feel we are seeing only the tip of the iceberg! The problem is swept under the carpet and not discussed as it is a loss of face, an unacceptable situation for an Indian family.
In our Indian culture, we expect our children to have understanding and respectful, to be obedient, caring, reliable, and honest. If and when they fall short of our high ideals, we feel cheated, depressed and understandably angry. The pensions are small or nonexistent and the income from fixed deposits combined with the escalating cost of living, make parents live in poverty and dependent on financial support from the children. This may not be possible as their income is also low and the high cost of living affects them as well! It is a matter of concern and grim reality.
This situation is particularly having a sleepless night to the police.

By blaming the Children won't work for the administration. Where is the governance, protection to the tax payers from the home and security department. Instead of making this a social problem, why don't you admit as a failure of the local government? What is that the administrators doing for the protection of the tax payers. What happens if a young man/woman, a school going child is abducted who is staying with his/her parents. Where is the awareness program for Neighborhood watch. Remember the sense of the abduction came to the daughter, who is always in touch with his father. Then the FIR was put at the local PS by the son. Why not it has been given by the Neighbors. Why the Polic is not starting action against the people against whom Mr. Mishra's son has given the complain?
