BHUBANESWAR: Green activist Prafulla Samantara, along with fellow rights campaigners, on Friday protested against the alleged police high-handedness and atrocities on people opposing the setting up of a steel plant in Dhinkia area of Jagatsinghpur district.
At a press conference here on Friday, the activists alleged that police have implicated agitating villagers, including their leader Debendra Swain, in false cases. “Many people of the locality had submitted affidavits before the high court about their issues. The police have started targeting all such people,” Samantara alleged.
