Today morning a large contingent of armed forces have reached Chandia village where people have threatened to commit mass suicide if they are forced out. Despite yesterday’s meeting where thousands of people gathered to protest against forceful land acquisition the Govt has responded to the people by sending armed forces again. Yesterday the leaders of the Bisthapan Birodhi Jan Manch had clearly stated that they were not protesting against any particular company or industry but against the loss of their land and livelihood. Please appeal to the Chief Minister of Orissa to stop this cruel treatment of the people and pushing them towards mass suicide.

Chief Minister Orissa: Fax – 0674-2590833
Tel: 0674-2401100(office), 0674-2590299 (residence)
