No end to Posco's hurdles in the the land acquisition, construction drive

There seems to be no end to Posco's hurdles in the land acquisition and construction drive for its proposed 12-million-tonne steel plant near Paradip, even as the South Korean steel major has agreed not to insist on an important import clause in its lapsed agreement with the Orissa government.

Even supporters of Posco in the project-affected villages have turned hostile and are now totally opposed to felling of trees and construction of boundary wall and approach roads.

This has led to a complete stalemate in building activities for the last two weeks. Torrential rains in the region in the past week have also completely paralysed activities. Groups have been formed in every street of Nuagaon village - one of the three key villages for the steel project - not to let the administration enter the area.

The villagers detained Resettlement and Rehabilitation officer Surajit Das on August 25 for five hours. They sought an assurance from Das that no tree would be cleared and no approach road would be constructed for Posco project.

Similarly, in Gadakujanaga village, ex-sarapanches, Ranjan Behera and Bishnu Pradhan are leading the newly formed outfit, Kujabihari Sangha to oppose the project.

Incidentally, both Behera and Pradha were part of the United Action Committee, a pro-Posco body till a few months back.

The villagers of Dhinkia, the epicenter of anti-Posco agitation, led by Posco Pratiraodh Sangarm Samity president Abhaya Sahu did not allow construction of Dhinkia-Paradip road for the steel plant.
