Kumri Majhi's family is one of the many families who have been displaced and have been relocated in small houses in the Niyamgiri Vedanta Nagar around the Vedanta Alumina processing plant. Residents complain that they have been compensated very little for the piece of land. Jobs were promised in the processing plant, but no jobs have been given as yet. The rehabilitation colony is spread across 136 acres of land. The rehabilitated families also complain that the houses are too small, and bear no resemblance to the ones they are used to from their village.
