Subject: [OrissaConcerns] Tensed situation in POSCO Project Area. Possibility for Police attack by tomorrow Morning
To: connect <connect@lists.orissaconcerns.net>
Dear all,
I spoke with Abhay Sahuji and Prasanth Paikare now. It seems police force is increased from 25 platoons to 40 platoons . Prasantji also mentioned about the information they received about a confidential action planning meetng by Govt on District collectorate. Police also rented mikesets, generator etc for tomorrow early morning ( possibly for announcing people to go out from project area) . As per these indicators ppss thinks police action will start most likely on tomorrow morning 5am . We must act something quickly

Dear friend:
We need your help urgently. As many of you are aware, the Korean Steel giant, POSCO (Pohang Steel) is touted to be moving forward with its plans building a steel mill in Jagatsingpura in north-east Orissa. The mill, also involves mining at Keonjhar and a new port just north of Paradip. In all, over 30 villages are targets for forced displacement and have been in continuous protest in one form or the other for the last two years or more under the leadership of the POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti. Currently there has been a rapid build of police forces over the last 72 hours. An Ongoing peaceful dharna by hundreds of villagers under the leadership of PPSS is continuing from January 26th 2010 onwards at Balithutha – the entry point into the proposed project affected villages. Now Dharna & Villages are under the threat of an attack on the people and forced entry into the lands and occupation by govt forces looms large. Please call following contacts and ask them to immediately stop all plans of forced occupation of land and instead seek the immediate implementation of the Forest Rights Act. Remind them that the project will effect both adivasis and non adivasis, a delicate eco system with a rumenurative betel leaf cultivation system and a unified movement against POSCO.
ONCE AGAIN, Please make ur calls ASAP.Call/Fax/Email Authorities Immediately
