i would request esteemed Sri Naba Kishore Mahallick and Dr. Kabi Prasad Mishra to contact the following website to know the raelity about deposit if country’s rare earth in Puri-Konark coast which covers Brahmagiri area also.
Both the authors are silent about involvement of Church of England in Vedanta projects.
Whether the lands were acquired before the Vedanta University Bill was passed and the University was formally came into existance or niot ? Why the Government was in such a hot haste???
I would request the authors to enlighten the people since when Anil Agrawala became so generous to do some social service to the people and what are other such institutions establiished by him.
Why the Government was in a hurry to extend the sitting of the State Assembly for one day to pass the Vedanta University Bill , though there were no precedents to extend the sitting days even during natural calamities,
Vedanta University is a purely private body. Can the Government acquire public land to promote a private institution ?
There are many more questions which should be answered by Dr Mishra. He should not advise people to read the leaflet publsihed by Vedanta University giving lots of mis informations
as part of its public relation exercise.
Dr Mishra have not clarified why Anil Agrawala’s Sterilte was black listed by Norway Government’s Pension Fund for pollution and violation of human rights ? Whether such acts of Anil Agrawala were hustified or not ??
