Police returns from Govindpur area for today

 

10th June 2011, 3.15 pm

 

 

After about a face to face of the struggling villagers with the police for little more than 4 hours, the police has now returned from the Govindpur village. About 2000 people formed barricade and stopped the police to enter the area. 20 platoon police force is deployed in the area. The children formed the outer ring of the human barricade  kept lying down on the street followed by women , then old people and finally the young. The police made several announcements to divide the peiople and weaken them morally but with no result.People completely maintain peace and adhere to democratic norms during today's protest despite provocation from the police. Finally it declared section 144 in the area. People however did not leave the area.

 

Due to scourching heat two women and about three children fainted and were taken back to village for immediate care. Two police men also fanited on the spot. One person was arrested by the police but later released. some one/two betel vines were broken by the police in the area little far away from where people had gathered.

 

At aroud 3 pm, the police finally returned from the area as people did not budge an inch.

 

We will keep updating on the developments. But we urge friends to stay alert as adminsitration can go to any extent and play any trick to enter to our area. Their main target is to arrest Mr. Abhaya Sahoo, President of Posco Pratirodha Sangram Samiti ( PPSS) and Mr. Shisir Mohapatra, Secretary PPSS in an attempt to demoralise people. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Prashant Paikray

 

Spokesperson, PPSS
