Anugul: Protesters call off economic blockade near Jindal Steel Plant following district administration’s written assurance.

As Jindal Steel Plant's workers  have  called off the economic blockade after getting the written assurance from the District Administration. But similar nature of environment has arisen in recent years in almost all industrial organisations set up in Odisha. What is the root cause of this situation ? To whom it may be blamed the district adminstration or the local people, or the organisation's top brass? Who?. In my view its the Odisha Government who is sole responsible for all this because the State Government has taken a lead role to bend down on the knees before the Corporate lords to fill there one point agenda to make money at a broadband speed. Undue favours have been granted to corporate world who have not left any stone unturned to pollute the environment. There is no political will or courage to force the state government to repair faulty minning policy that allows virtual loot of iron ore, bauxite mines and minerals. The Corporate houses also have forgotten about the MOU signed with the government. In the name of permanent jobs are going to persons outside the state because local people lack skill which they want. But it is mandatory to them to provide specific traning to the locals to suit their requirement and provide them permanent employment. And when the locals demand for there rights similar nature of situation arises such as in Jindal and also state government has taken a one step forward on live bullets being fired on them.
