Anti industry group to continue struggle in Kalinga Nagar
New Indian Express reported that people of Kalinga Nagar observed Saheed Divas marking the 8th anniversary of the Kalinga Nagar firing incident which claimed lives of 14 tribals including three women.
While the anti industry groups assembled at Ambagadia, where the tribals killed in the police firing were mass cremated, pro industrialisation group, led by those who have been rehabilitated by TATA Steel, held a parallel meeting at Gobarghati colony.
Around 2000 members of Visthapan Virodhi Jan Manch, which has been spreading the anti displacement movement since Kalinga Nagar incident, paid tributes to those who were killed in the police firing on this day in 2006.
Earlier, a rally of the VVJM was taken out from Champakoila where the firing took place and reached Ambagadia via Duburi Chhak. Later, the VVJM organised a public meeting where it reaffirmed its pledge to continue the fight against forcible displacement.
Mr Rabindra Jarika secretary of VVJM said that “We would continue to fight against forcible displacement for which they laid down their lives.”
However, around 3000 people under the banner of Visthapita Parivar Unnayana Parishad participated in a pro-industry rally and held a meeting at Gobarghati colony. 4 platoons of police along with two magistrates were deployed to prevent any untoward incident.
