Chief minister Naveen Patnaik today assured that a good package will be worked out for the affected people of the Posco project, proposed to be set up near Paradip in Orissa.

Almost after five years of fierce opposition by the local people, the state government officials were on Thursday allowed to carry out socio-economic survey work at the Posco steel project site at Kujang near Paradip in Orissa

PARADIP: The survey work at the proposed Posco steel plant site, Gobindpur near here, resumed today, four days after anti-Posco agitators agreed to cooperate with the State Government on it. Eight teams comprising six members each entered Gobindpur gram panchayat area and conducted socio-economic and forest land survey without police protection.

The villagers of Dhinkia and Gobindpur, the two of the strongholds of anti-Posco movement in the Posco project site area, have strongly reacted to the decision of their leaders to allow socio-economic and horticulture survey for the project in their villages.

PARADIP: The district administration has made elaborate arrangements for the Posco survey slated to start from tomorrow morning at Gobindapur village. Eight survey teams will be pressed into service to continue the socio economic, forest and horticulture survey without police deployment.
