| Using religion to express dissent, activists opposed to the Rs 52,000 crore POSCO steel project in Orissa marched from Cuttack to the Lingaraj temple in Bhubaneswar.
The march was organised to pray to Lord Shiva for the withdrawal of the Korean steel company's project.
Earlier, the POSCO India had announced it's plan to start construction work for its 12 million tonne steel plant in October this year.
Udyam - a youth body - organised the Bol Bom March on Sunday to protest against the impending displacement of 20,000 people.
They also protested the right accorded to POSCO to draw 15 to 18 crore litre of water per day from the river Mahanadi, which they said would endanger the livelihood of lakhs of farmers.
