HAILING slain protester Eto Ekka as a martyr, thousands of tribals including women and children took his body in a procession through the Rourkela ring road on Tuesday.
Ekka (37) was crushed to death under the wheels of a JCB excavator while opposing the construction of a new rail line project of the Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) at Barkani near Bondamunda on Saturday.
After autopsy, the body was carried in a hearse through the ring road while the tribals marched on foot chanting slogans 'Saheed Eto Ekka Amar Rahe' (long live martyr Eto Ekka) and 'Desh Bhar Ke Adiwasi Mulwasi Ek Ho' (tribal and native people across the country unite).
