If not successful, we might find some other alternative: Posco-India chief

Bhubaneswar, May 8: Posco-India chief Soung Sik Cho on Tuesday said if the company did not succeed in its attempt to persuade the locals to part with their lands for the proposed 12-million-tonne steel project, the company might find some other “alternative.”
Mr Cho, who met the chief minister Navin Patnaik in the evening, however, did not answer to a query if the “alternative” meant shifting of shelving of the project.
“As per our announcement, we have started direct talks with the local people in Kujanga area for land acquisition. We hope to succeed in our endeavour,” he said.
The CMD said he met the chief minister Mr Patnaik to inform him about the progress made so far in respect of land acquisition.
