Kudankulam Nuclear Plant Protest

AAP was approached by people of Iddinthakarai - the epicentre of the protest against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project spearheaded by People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) - who expressed their wish to join the party.

A 32-year-old man from Idinthakarai, the epicentre of protests against Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, created a flutter by handing over to the local police station five country-made bombs allegedly given to him by two persons for "hoarding".

At least six people, including two children, died on Tuesday night after a crude bomb exploded at a village that has been at the centre of protests against the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu.

At least six people including two children died as country-made bombs exploded at the Tsunami Colony in Idinthakarai village, the ground zero for protests against the Kudankulam Nuclear Plant in the Tirunelvelli district of Tamil Nadu.

People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy's leader SP Udaykumar who has been spearheading the protests against Kudankulam nuclear plant has slammed the two-hour electricity generation and supply by Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant authorities as a gimmick to appease the Russians.

The controversial Kudankulam nuclear plant, which has witnessed widespread protests and several delays, is now a step closer towards generating power. On Saturday night, the nuclear reactor at the first unit of the plant attained criticality, and began the much-awaited nuclear fission process, in its journey towards making electricity.

The Kudankulam nuclear reactor, which has seen several delays and protests, finally attained criticality and began nuclear fission process late on Saurday night, officials of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) said.

A local court on Friday granted bail to PMK founder S Ramadoss in a case filed against him for taking part in protests against Kudankulam nuclear plant, violating prohibitory orders a few months ago.

For almost two years, Idinthakarai, a non-descript coastal village, barely a 35-minute drive from the Kudankulam plant, has served as the nucleus of struggle against the controversial plant. At the heart of these protests are fishermen who are fighting for their livelihood.

For the very first time, India's nuclear watchdog, the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), has indicated that faulty parts have been found at the Kudankulam nuclear power plant. The problematic valves are being replaced, said officials.

Around 3,000 villagers living near the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu are protesting in sea today. They allege that loud noise and smoke from the plant over the last few weeks is affecting them, especially pregnant women and old people.

Around four thousand fishermen and six hundred boats dotted the sea behind the Kudankulam nuclear plant in Tamil Nadu, marking the second anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.

With the much-delayed Kudankulam nuclear power project expected to be commissioned by April, anti-KNPP activists on Monday revived their protest by laying a siege to the plant through sea.

Several activists from various parts of the country have arrived at Idinthakarai near Tirunelveli, the epicentre of the over 500-day long agitation against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, to express their solidarity with the protesters on the eve of new year.

Around 2000 anti-Nuclear activists were arrested close to the Tamil Nadu Assembly in Chennai as they protested against the nuclear power plant at Kudankulam in the south-east of the state. The planned protests coincided with the Tamil Nadu government moving Supreme Court against the Centre, to find a solution to a crippling power shortage in the st...
