Tension at the Jindal Steel Kalinganagar plant

Tension prevailed outside the proposed 1.6 million tonne integrated stainless steel project of JSL Limited at Kalinganagar near Duburi in Jajpur distrcit due to a clash between the stone pelting workers and security personnel.

The irate workers threw stones and damaged 4 buses of the company including one air-conditioned bus. One constable and two security guards were also injured in the melee.

The police reached the spot and tried to dissuade the workers from indulging in violent activities. However, when persuasion failed, it resorted to mild lathi charge to disperse the unruly workers. Thirteen persons were arrested by the police in the incident before the situation was brought under control. The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Jajpur B B Mallik and Inspector-In-Charge (IIC) B N Samal are camping at the site, official sources said.

The incident started in the morning when some contract workers came to the main gate of the plant and didn’t allow other workers to enter the plant. They protested the decision of the management not to allow the entry of the two wheelers into the plant and demanded banning the entry of four wheelers as well.

“It was a planned incident by some vested interest and we are thankful to the district administration for their prompt support”, Rajdeep Mohanty, chief resident manager, JSL said.

It may be noted, the JSL plant authorities had introduced the free bus service for all workers in the plant from 1 August. The two wheelers were not allowed inside the plant area for the safety of the two wheeler riders as two months back one worker met with an accident while driving in high speed inside the plant area.

Since all the internal concrete roads are four-laned, rash driving on part of workers and non-use of helmets while driving were causing accidents and problems for the management. Similarly, some vested interests used to enter the plant site and indulged in collection of money from the contractors.

To get rid of these unwanted problems, the management had various rounds of discussion with the employees, contractors, workers engaged by the contractors. Accordingly, parking facilities were created at the main gate of the plant from where the company buses were to carry the employees and contractual workers inside the plant. The district administration was informed about the new transport system inside the plant area.

JSL mulls super thermal power plant in Orissa

Ratan Jindal promoted JSL Limited, which proposed to set up 1000 Mw power plant in Dhenkanal district of Orissa, proposes to upgrade the size of the project to super thermal status.

The company is in the process of appointing a consultant to work out the project. The consultant will suggest appropriate modules to implement it.

“Since the state requires more power, JSL is mulling to upgrade its proposed 1000 Mw power plant in Dhenkanal district to super thermal status”, Rajdeep Mohanty, chief resident manager (Orissa), JSL Limited, said.

The proposal is in a very preliminary stage and the details are to be finalised after assessment of feasibility by a consultant, he added.

Though the company is yet to submit any proposal to the state government in this regard, it is considered important as the level of pollution in a super thermal power plant is much lower than the normal power plants having lower capacity.

JSL had earlier submitted a proposal to the Orissa government for setting up a 1000 Mw (2x500Mw) power plant at Gajamara in Dhenkanal district. The project envisaging an investment of Rs.40900 millions was cleared by both the State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA) and the High Level Clearance Authority (HLCA) headed by the chief minister Naveen Patnaik.

However, the area was later allotted to the National Thermal Power Plant (NTPC) by the state government for setting up a 3200 Mw thermal power station
