STAFF REPORTER / The Hindu.
Villagers block the entrance point of the South Korean Steel maker POSCO’s project in Kujanga block of the Jagatsinghpur district on Saturday.
The land acquisition process by the Orissa government for the Posco project in the Dhinkia gram panchayat of Jagatsinghpur district did not make any headway on Saturday following resistance by members of a five-party delegation and villagers.
The gram panchayat remained a hostile region for the district administration that had in the past fortnight stepped up the land acquisition process for the steel plant.
With children and women at the forefront, villagers blocked the land acquisition teams for the second consecutive day, though the administration declared their assembly unlawful.
For five hours on Friday, women and children braved the oppressive sun and did not let the teams backed by scores of police personnel to enter the village.

The State's oppression to, forcefully, grab land for industrial investors, denying the fair market price and 'land-for-land' exchange whereby depriving the sole-livelihood of the farmers, tribals and fisherfolk, grossly violating the ruling of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, on these issues.
This has been happening in A.P., Bihar, Rajastan, U.P., West Bengal, Orissa - irrespective of which political party or coalition of them rules.
