URGENT APPEAL FROM POSCO PRATIRODH SANGRAM SAMITI AS ON 1st NOVEMBER 2011



Dear Friends,

We earnestly appeal to all of you to send your immediate protest
letter to the government of Odisha regarding its recent decision to
start the construction of coastal road from Paradeep to our village
for POSCO. We fear that over 400–500 henchmen of POSCO followed by
police forces might forcibly enter into our area. From media reports,
it may construe that they can attack on or before 3rd of November
2011. On 30th October 2011, our villagers have decided to intensify
the protest if the Government goes ahead with land acquisition and
construction of the coastal road.

On 27th of October 2011, the Chief Secretary of Odisha Mr. B.K Patnaik
said in the media that he had asked POSCO authorities to begin work on
the acquired land. Of the 4,000 and odd acres of land required by the
company, the state government claims to have acquired 2,000 acres and
hence POSCO could start work over this land.

In this regard, Mr. Priyabrat Patnaik, Chief Managing Director of
Industrial Development Corporation of Odisha (IDCO) held a meeting
with the Jagatsinghpur district officials on 28th of October, 2011.

As you all know that the government's move to allow POSCO to start
work in the area is completely illegal as the MOU has lapsed more than
a year back. Opposition parties including Congress and BJP opposed
Orissa government's move to invite POSCO-India to begin work on the
acquired land even before a fresh MoU was signed.

At this critical juncture, we appeal to all concerned citizens
activists, intellectuals and media friends to extend their support and
put consistent pressure on the government to stop the forcible
eviction of the people. Our villagers in a meeting in Dhinkia also
have resolved to oppose any move by the state. We know Priyabrata
Pattnaik as an officer with criminal credential and can do anything to
harm us and help the project. Any intervention from your side will be
of help to us.

We shall inform you the further developments here.

Kindly circulate this mail widely.



In Solidarity,

Prashant Paikaray
