AISF protests against POSCO

Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR: Protests against South Korean steel major POSCO’s proposed mega project continues.

The AISF on Wednesday staged a demonstration in front of Fortune Tower, POSCO-India’s corporate office, protesting against the proposed 12 million tonne per annum capacity steel mill near port town of Paradip.

Some hundred students sat on a dharna on the main road leading to the office for an hour throwing vehicular movement to a standstill. They were shouting anti-POSCO slogans and showed placards and banners. “Industry and development means more employment generation and social security. But by putting up this mega industry, not many people will be absorbed in the factory. Then what is the point in having such industry?” asked a student leader.
