POSCO seeks protection for its staff

BHUBANESWAR: POSCO-India has written a letter to Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik seeking police support for its employees to start work on its mega steel project in Jagatsinghpur district of the State.

Stating that it was concerned about the safety and security of its employees, the company said in the letter that it required clearance from police for sending its employees to start land demarcation work for the project.

The letter was dispatched to Mr. Patnaik on Tuesday after the company received a letter from the Kujang police station in Jagatsinghpur that no company official should enter the site chosen for the steel project without their consent.

The company decided to withdraw 13 of its 15 staff members in its project office at Kujang.
