Orissa govt halts land acquisition for Posco's projectReuters | Jun 21, 2011, 11.07am IST BHUBANESWAR: Orissa state has stopped acquiring land for South Korean Posco's proposed $12 billion steel plant after local protests, a government official said on Tuesday, further delaying what is the single largest foreign direct investment into the country. "It has been halted indefinitely," SK Chaudhuri, the Orissa official said. "We are waiting for further instructions from the (state) government." Thousands of villagers have protested against the state taking over land for the Posco <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Posco> plant, with women and children forming human rings around the site. Local opposition has long delayed the 4 million tonnes plant, like in the case of several other major infrastructure projects across India<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/India> . -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
