Special Correspondent

A state level convention of various political parties, trade unions and associations and intellectuals were held here today gave a clarion call to intensify mass actions and mass mobilisation all over Orissa to save Rourkela Steel Plant, (RSP) the premier public sector unit under SAIL. It was decided by the convention to observe Save Rourkela Day on 29th July, to hold district/local conventions all over the state and to ask all state political parties to pass an unanimous resolution in Orissa Assembly in the forthcoming session, opposing the move to sell out captive power plants and privatise Rourkela Steel Plant based on the recommendation of Mc. Kinsey's report.

The convention organised by CITU was addressed among others by former Speaker of State Assembly, Yudhistir Das (Janata Dal), Abani Baral (CPI), Janardan Pati (CPI-M), Economist Dr. Basudeb Sahu, Journalist Barendra Dhal, Shibaji Patnaik (CITU), S. Kar (AITUC), Narendra Swain (HMS), R. N. Mallick (Sramik Ekta Manch) and Bishnu Mohanti (Steel Employees Trade Union). The convention also addressed by Dipankar Mukherjee MP and Chittabrata Majumdar (All India Secretary of CITU).

The resolution unanimously adopted in the convention scathingly criticised the decision of the SAIL at the behest of BJP Government to break-up SAIL, which would destroy RSP that provides livelihood to over 10 lakh families directly and indirectly.

The convention was presided over by Lambodar Nayak, General Secretary, Orissa State CITU.
