Dear friends, As you are aware, the problems of deforestation, pollution and displacement through mining have become a major issue in different parts of the country including Karnataka. One of the foremost struggles against the destructive mining agenda under globalisation is in Orissa against the invasion of POSCO-India Ltd. (a subsidiary of South Korean steel giant - the Pohand Steel Company Limited). Strong opposition by the local people has been continuing during the last 5 years under a people's organisation Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samity (PPSS). The Police and the musclemen of the company have engaged in all kinds of torture and harassment on the local people who have put up a stiff opposition to the project. The main leader of the movement, Abhay Sahu along with 5 others are still in jail. Two other leaders, Prashant Paikray and Prafulla Das are travelling in South India in order to generate support for the struggle. They will be reaching Bangalore on 17th afternoon.
Prashanta Paikray and Prafulla Das will speak to the activists and supporters in Bangalore on 17th August at 5.30 pm at SCM House, Mission Road, Bangalore. We request you to participate in the meeting and express your solidarity. Please inform all your friends about this important meeting.
