It is reported that the villagers who have been opposing steel plant proposed to be set up by POSCO took out a rally and renewed their resolve to fight against the project.
Mr Abhaya Sahu president of POSCO Pratirodh Sangarm Samiti, which has been spearheading the anti POSCO agitation, said “We will not allow the steel plant to come up in earmarked villages. It could come up only over the bodies of unarmed people fighting against displacement. The villagers have legitimate rights over the land under the Forest Rights Act.”
Rally was organised by the Samiti at Balitutha on the fringes of the proposed steel project area in an apparent bid to galvanize the dwindling support base.
The rally was attended by leaders of the Congress, the CPI(M), the CPI, the Forward Bloc, the Samajwadi Party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the CPI(M-L), and the CPI(M-L) New Democracy. Leaders of several mass movements also took part in the rally.

POSCO war Zone - Anti group PPPS warns of blood bath
Monday, 07 Feb 2011
The anti POSCO movement has decided not to give 'even an inch of land' for the mega steel project in Orissa even as the state government there is gearing itself to start land acquisition over the next two weeks.
POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti chairman Mr Abhaya Sahu said that anti POSCO movement is passing through a very critical stage after Union Minister for Environment and Forest Mr Jayram Ramesh gave clearance for the project.
He said “We have been fighting for the last five and half years. We will not give up the fight. People are ready to fight till the last drop of blood in their body.”
Mr Sahu said that people are facing the government sponsored repression on the behalf of South Korean company adding that whatever conditions that are laid down by Ministry of Environment and Forest for the project are merely an eyewash.
He said "The state government is preparing itself for land acquisition in next two weeks time. But the anti POSCO moment has decided not to give even an inch of land for the project.”
