A prohibited area signboard is seen inside the Vedanta Alumina Company property in Lanjigarh, Orissa. Also seen at the distance are the Niyamgiri hills. Protesters claim that "allowing mining would be a sacrilege". It will be virtually impossible to mitigate the impacts of mining on the ecology and wildlife in the area and that the tribals worship the forests and have staunchly protected them.
