Chennai,Oct 18: The Centre is expected to constitute an expert group after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s return from abroad and would seek the guidance of former President A P J Abdul Kalam on allaying the fears of the locals opposed to the controversial Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project.
“The Centre’s expert group comprising scientists from environment, nuclear and ocean fields will be set up after the Prime Minister’s return from South Africa. It will be a neutral body,” Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanaswamy told PTI on phone from New Delhi.
