The Orissa Government has decided to stop funding some of the non-governmental organisations which were allegedly acting against the interest of the state and stalling major industrial projects. Perturbed over reports that some of the NGOs working in tribal areas of Korapur, Rayagada and other places had misguided villagers and thereatened investors, who are to set up aluminium plants in the area, the state government, had decided to act firmly.
