Dear Friends, While the mass protest is going on at Patna village daily and at a time when thousands of our villagers have a sent a petition to the President of India requesting his intervention to stop state supported and POSCO financed forceful assaults and human rights violation in our area and to cancel the POSCO project, we are receiving shocking but not surprising news about POSCO’s involvement in one after another scam and violations. The whole nation now knows how POSCO is involved with Rs 1000 million tax evasion in Maharshtra. The article attached below will tell people what POSCO is capable of doing in Odisha. If you may recall, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had slapped a penalty of close to Rs.100 million on one of its associate companies in India, POSCO India Delhi Processing Centre (IDPC), for alleged tax evasion. The customs department has also ordered the confiscation of goods worth about Rs. 2000 million imported by the company. While condemning POSCO’s nefarious activities we call upon all conscientious people to condemn POSCO and demand its ouster from India as the company has taken the people and law of the land for granted. We may also remind you that our preparation is going on to observe ‘Protect and Promote Forest Week’ from 15- 21, November 2013 on the coast and in the surrounding villages. As we have shared in the last mail, we are planning to plant Mango, Coconut, Lemon, Sapeta, Karanja, Neem categories in our area. Hope you will join us in the afforestation effort and motivate our villagers. You can call Mr. Sisir Mohapatra, Secretary, POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, phone no – 09777268442 and contribute the above said plants. In solidarity, Prashant Paikaray Sopkesperson, POSCO PRATIRODH SANGRAM SAMITI Phone no - 09437571547
