Posco row: Survey begins as villagers lift barricades by Debabrata Mohanty


Four days after anti-Posco agitators agreed to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s proposal, the socio-economic survey that would form the ground of the compensation package for the oustees of Posco steel project started at the twin villages of Dhinkia and Gobindpur.

Eight teams entered Gobindpur gram panchayat area in Jagatsinghpur district and started the survey for the Rs 52,000-crore project without any police protection.

On June 13, the anti-Posco body, Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, during a meeting with Naveen had agreed to allow the survey. The villagers of Dhinkia and Gobindpur have been opposing the entry of government officials to their villages for the last five years.

With the villagers lifting the barricades to facilitate the entry of official teams and the administration withdrawing the police forces from Gobindpur and Nuagaon areas, the survey work has given a new lease of life to the project.
