Protesters continue to stage protest with Ekka's body which has started to decompose

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Rourkela

BRAVING the scorching heat, tribals continued to stage agitation at Barkani near Bondamunda for the second consecutive day on Sunday with the body of a protestor who was crushed to death after allegedly jumping in front of a moving JCB excavator to stop work on the new rail line project of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP).

Protesting the new double railway line of RSP, the tribals have been sitting at the agitation site for more than 32 hours with the body of Eto Ekka (37), which has started showing signs of decomposition. Their chief demands include settlement of pending displacement issues of RSP and South Eastern Railway (SER) over the land acquired at Bondamunda nearly seven decades back.
