[Asit Das]

Dear freinds and comrades
All of you must be aware about the stage of critcalility of the anti posco
stuggle especially naked police terror and atrocities in Gobindpur.In the
last week of june a heavy contigent of armed police around a dozen platoons
led by district collector and the swoop down on gobind pur rutthlessly beat
up men women and children for 3 days and destroyed around 50 betel vines of
unwilling villagers. Then the media reported the district officials and
odisha state govt statement saying  the the gove has acquired 2700 acres of
land for the first phase and will soon handover them to posco.many news
papers in Delhi said that the movement is over, which is not true.
For the past 5 days there is again there is reign of brutal terror in
Gobind pur. the police are conducting flag march in the village and raiding
houses.For the past fews days a  heavy contigent  of police is coming to
Gobindpur  with earthmovers to dig trench fopr demarcating acquired land,
The people of gobingpur have put up a brave resistance and have forced them
to with draw , but  if the movement doesnt get wider support from out side
the odisha govt might  be sucessful in handingover the land to posco.The
struggle in gobindpur has reached a decisive and crital statge we should
stand firmly with the struggling people of gobindput.Strangely ppss hasnt
come out with any updates on the latest police repression in gobindpur.
    Please write fax and phone home secretary  the odisha governor, chief
minster, chief secretary,home secretay to stop police repression and
forcible land grab in gobindpur

Asit
