DGP and IDCO CMD also held a closed door meeting with local revenue officials and police before returing to the state capital.
While the Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS) activists had already vowed to oppose the 12 mtpa steel project at any cost, the state government was equally determined to implement the Rs 52,000 crore project.
Before taking any step towards force mobilisation in the area, the state police chief visited the place to feel the pulse of the local people, an official said.
The visit of the senior officials came after Chief Secretary BK Patnaik reviewed the situation relating to the implementation of the Posco project.
"Both Praharaj and Patnaik will submit a joint report to the chief secretary about the ground situation before the government takes any further step towards force mobilisation at the proposed plant site area," the official said.
