Local government official sources informed that the process of land acquisition for the proposed Rs 52,000 crore Posco steel plant in Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur district was continuing peacefully.
The district authorities are acquiring land from betel farmers and demolition of betel vines has reportedly reached the final stage as local people have given consent.
However, it is learnt that anti-project activists assembled in the vicinity for a showdown with the administration. In order to avoid any trouble, security team is deployed in the area.
The district officials formed three teams for the operation. While two teams are engaged to dismantle betel vines, another conducted a survey to identify trees which need to be removed as part of the land acquisition process.
