With the fate of the Rs 52,000-crore Posco project hanging in balance over Forest Rights Act, people of seven villages from the proposed site on Monday asked Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh to visit the plant site during his Orissa tour.
Hit by the “push and pull” on implementation of the project, people from both the anti-and the pro-project camps said Mr Ramesh should make an “on-the-spot” enquiry during his two-day visit.
