In a move that could have a positive impact on the beleaguered 6 million tonne integrated steel projects of TATA Steel at Kalinganagar about 28 peoples representatives, consisting of local sarpanches and panchayat samiti members urged the Visthapan Virodhi Jan Manch spearheading the agitation against the project to resolve the problems through talks with the district administration in a peaceful manner.
In a letter handed over to Mr Chakradhar Haibru president of VVJM, the all round development of the Kalinganagar area could be possible with the setting up of this important project if the issues are resolved through mutual discussion.
The people’s representatives belonging to Sukinda and Dangadi block pointed out that the emerging steel hub of the country at Kalinga Nagar has been embroiled in violence of late due to discontent over the setting up of TATA Steel project. They said “Since agriculture alone can’t solve the livelihood problems of the rising population, the area also need industries.”
In this backdrop, they offered to mediate between the government and the office bearers of the VVJM for a peaceful settlement of the problems.
