Making the situation more complex for the state government, activists opposing the Rs 12,000-crore Posco steel project at Paradip have formed a suicide squad. The Posco Pratirodha Sangram Samiti (PPSS), which is spearheading the anti-displacement movement, has formed the suicide squad with at least 50 members enrolled from Nuagaon panchayat, the proposed project site. The squad took oath at Sarala temple at Kanakpur in Jagatsinghpur district on Sunday and vowed to lay down their lives protecting their "motherland."
