Abstract

THE Union Ministry of Environment and Forests, or MoEF, has given final clearance to the POSCO steel project in Odisha. While doing so, it ignored the forest rights claims of people living in the project site in Jagatsinghpur district. The gram sabhas of two of the seven affected villages—Dhinkia and Gobindpur—had written to the ministry on March 10 about their resolution not to part with their land for the project unless the process of recognising their rights over the forestland is completed.
