Extending their helping hand to the family of an anti- Posco leader of Dhinkia, who was now in jail for alleged involvement in several offences, villagers ploughed his farm land today to initiate cultivation. School students in the area who had boycotted classes to join anti-Posco demonstrations, today attended their schools. Anti-Posco leader and sarpanch of Dhinkia, Sisir Mohapatra said new betel vines had come up in the area. "The government claims that betel vines in the area have been dismantled.
