Alleged forced eviction of residents living in Jagatsinghpur District, Odisha, and
surrounding areas in India. According to the information received, the Government of
India granted concessions to the multi-national steel corporation, Pohang Iron and
Steel Corporation (POSC), based in the Republic of Korea, for the construction of an
integrated steel plant and a captive port, which could force up to 20,000 people to
leave their homes and land. Sources suggest that the construction of the steel plant
would result in serious violations of human rights, including the right to adequate
standard of living, food, adequate housing, water and sanitation, health and education.
