DHNS reported that POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, the organisation spearheading the local villagers’ agitation against the Posco project in Odisha’s coastal Jagatsinghpur district, is trying to rope in Team Anna for its ongoing struggle against the South Korean steel giant.

According to sources in the PPSS, the organization has already got in touch with Team Anna in this regard and if everything goes as per plan some of the key members of the team like Prashant Bhusan or Kiran Bedi would visit the state within the next one week to address the agitating local villagers at Dhinkia-Govindpur, the epicenter of anti-Posco movement in Jagatsinghpur.

The PPSS has already managed to get the backing of the who is who of the country’s activists. Medha Patker of Narmada Bacaho Andolan has already thrown her lot behind the anti POSCO villagers and addressed them in Dhinkia a few months back.
