Land Conflict Summary

In 2006, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between TATA Power Company Ltd. and the Odisha government for a 1000MW coalbased power plant at NarajMarthapur area in Cuttack district, which was to be carried out in a phased manner, involving a combined investment of INR 9000 crore. For this purpose, at least 1200 acres of land in the ecologically sensitive zone was acquired by the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO), a state government agency. People living in five villages namely Mundali, Talagarh, NarajMarthapur, Ramdaspur and Nuagaon lost their agricultural land to the project. As the company faced strong opposition from the State forest and environment department along with green activists over locating the plant close to Chandaka wildlife sanctuary, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, it decided to change the location. Begunia in Khordha district was deemed to be the new site with 975 acres of land but the project was shifted once again to be a shorebased plant at Gopalpur on the state's southern coast, where more than 3200 acres of land was acquired. However, the company finally decided to shelve the project. Sanjeev Chopra, principal secretary (industries), confirmed that TATA had yet to submit a formal proposal to set up a plant at Gopalpur and had scrapped its plans of setting up a coalbased power plant in State. It was reported that the de allocation of Mandakini coal based on the Supreme Court order, which the plant had intended to use as fuel, and the reluctance to bear the enormous cost of replacing it with imported coal, led to the shelving of the proposed plant. The land acquired in NarajMarthapur and adjacent villages for the initial project has not been returned to people despite being unused. The onetime compensation paid by the company for their surrendered lands is no solace, say the affected people who are now battling for survival. With the formation of a protest banner named 'Sidheswar Anchalika Surakhya Committee,' people have started demanding the return of their lands while seeking the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the issue. The committee has alleged that the land was acquired forcefully from people and the public hearing was held at a distance of 20 km from the affected villages to ensure nonparticipation of most of the affected people. Inspired by the Supreme Court judgement on land rights of farmers in Singur, they launched a "democratic, peaceful and nonviolent struggle".
