Madurai: Stepping up their protest against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), spearheading the stir, would lay siege to the sea at about 500 meters away from the site today.
Fishers, farmers, traders and volunteers of various political parties from Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts in Tamil Nadu are expected to participate in the protest.
Heavy police force has been deployed at various places to prevent any untoward situation, police said.
On September 22 the protesters, on-board around 500 boats, had laid siege to the Tuticorin port against loading of uranium in the atomic power plant.
The protesters along with fishermen also staged a 'Jal Satyagraha' in the sea at Koothakuzhi, 10 km from Kudankulam, by forming a human chain.
The first unit of the Kudankulam plant was scheduled to be commissioned in December last year but had been delayed due to protests by locals on safety concerns.
