Kujang: Family members of a landowner have lodged a written complaint with Erasama tehsildar accusing JSW Steel of laying a pipeline through their land without prior notice or consent. The family members alleged that JSW Steel has begun laying a pipeline across Swain’s landed property to transport iron ore slurry from mining areas to its 13.2-MTPA steel plant in Dhinkia without obtaining the landowner’s permission. Seeking action against the company, the family members alleged that the work violates their constitutional rights and accused the company of acquiring land through coercive means while ignoring repeated objections from locals. Copies of the complaint were also sent to the Jagatsinghpur District Collector, state Revenue Secretary and Revenue Minister. Erasama tehsildar Snigdha Shraddhanjali Behera said her office had received the complaint and that legal action would be taken after an inquiry, if warranted.
