Though the survey was conducted at all the seven villages, the administration was yet to identify beneficiaries from Dhinkia village, where people did not cooperate with the survey team.
About 3,000 families of six villages are likely to get rehabilitation package if Posco-India establishes its 12 MTPA mega steel plant at the proposed site near Paradip, officials said.
This was found in the recently concluded socio-economic and horticulture survey in the proposed plant site in Jagatsinghpur district, the report of which was submitted at the chief minister's office (CMO) today.
Though the survey was conducted at all the seven villages, the administration was yet to identify beneficiaries from Dhinkia village, where people did not cooperate with the survey team.
"There are 1493 betel vines and 952 big trees at the proposed project site," Jagatsinghpur district collector NC Jena said, quoting the report.
Though most of the betel vines and horticulture trees were located on government land, the steel major would have to pay compensation to the families using the land since decades.
Jena said the district administration's priority would be to motivate people of Dhinkia village to take benefits from the opportunity.
A review meeting on Posco-India project chaired by CM's principal secretary Bijay Patnaik also asked the revenue divisional commissioner, central division to organise Rehabilitation and Peripheral Development Advisory Committee (RPDAC) on Rs51,000 crore project soon, sources said.
RPDAC meeting is to finalise the compensation package in consultation with the affected villagers and elected representatives of the area.
