In Odisha, land acquisition for the Posco steel project near Paradip of Jagatsinghpur district was again stopped today following decision of senior state government officials. After being unable to go ahead with the land acquisition process due to bad weather conditions for the last two working days, officials seem to be finalising strategies to enter Gobindpur and Dhinkia despite strong opposition by local villagers. A large number of anti-Posco activists supported by thousands of villagers including children, women and elderly have formed human chains in the outskirts of Gobindpur since early this morning to protest forceful land acquisition for the South Korean steel major, Posco. Meanwhile, pro-Posco activists have also stopped construction work for a rehabilitation colony in Polanga of Gada Kujanga in the project area demanding action on their 6-point charter of demands. AIR correspondent reports, the strong resistance from Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti and now opposition from pro-Posco Joint Action Committee for beginning of project work have made things more difficult for the Odisha Government. It has been finding really hard to acquire the 4004 acres of land needed for the 52,000 crore rupee project, the biggest foreign direct investment in the country.
