Orissa government is finding it difficult to acquired land for POSCO’s INR 52,000 crore steel project as anti displacement brigade gained strength from political parties and social activists with Narmada Bachao Andolan leader Ms Medha Patker on Monday visiting Dhinkia, the entry point to the proposed plant site on Monday and lending her support to protester.

Ms Patker also made it clear that the government just could not bulldoze the human barricade by the villagers unwilling to leave their land.

The BJP delegation also visited the site and the Congress also has lent its support to the protest.

Last week social activists Swami Agnibesh visited Dhinkia and warned the government of any violence against peaceful protest.
