Stepping up their protest against the Koodankulam nuclear power plant, agitators today staged a roadblock in front of the plant site, preventing entry of scientists and workers into the complex.
The protest hitherto confined to fast took a new turn even as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa assured the local population that their sentiments would be respected.
“As far as Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project is concerned, Tamil Nadu government will certainly act respecting the local peoples’ sentiments. I will be one among you in the issue,” she told a campaign rally ahead of next week’s civic polls.
Jayalalithaa’s remarks during her speech at neighbouring Tuticorin came a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wrote to her cautioning that the state’s development would be hit in the absence of power from the Indo-Russian project.
