For more than five years the people of Jagatsinghpur, Orissa (India) have borne the brunt of an ambitious and reckless project launched by the Pohang Iron and Steel Company (POSCO) of South Korea and the Government of Orissa (GoO). On December 10, 2010, the South Asia Solidarity Initiative (SASI) and the Mining Zone Peoples’ Solidarity Group (MZPSG) will hold a press conference and protest outside the Korean Consulate in New York City urging the Government of the Republic of Korea to intervene positively and seek an immediate withdrawal of POSCO from Orissa.
