Posing with her son and daughter, Savita Mandal, the widow of 34 year old Dula Mandal shows the photo of her deceased husband. Dula Mandal died on the spot in his village (Gobindpur) on June 20th 2008 when the pro-Posco agitators threw a bomb at their group. Clashes between supporters and opponents of the POSCO project injured 50 people, and angry farmers have erected a bamboo gate at the entrance to the village of Dhinkia to keep outsiders away.
