Tata Steel is likely to begin the development works on its proposed
multi-purpose SEZ near Gopalpur in Ganjam district of Orissa, once the SEZ is
notified.
Though the SEZ project has been approved by the Board of Approvals (BoA) for
SEZs, it has not yet been notified due to land acquisition problems.
The company is hoping sort out the land acquisition problems in Chamakahandi
and Basanaputi villages soon. It has agreed to undertake a fresh survey on the
lands being left out in these villages, for the payment of compensation and
taking physical possession of land.
A tripartite meeting was held between the villagers, company officials and
the district administration for physical acquisition of around 51.502 acre in
Chamakhandi village and around 25 acre in Basanaputi village.
