New Delhi: In a setback for the Tamil Nadu Government, an expert panel appointed by the Centre has given a thumbs-up to the controversial Kudankulam Nuclear power project saying it meets current safety standards and blamed activists for creating fear in the minds of locals.
Meanwhile, a civil group spearheading the protest against Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) called off talks with the central government-appointed experts panel after the former's members were assaulted in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu on Tuesday, an activist said.
"We have no faith in the talks. None of the questions we had asked were answered and the documents we had asked were not presented to us. Meanwhile, our members have been assaulted when they had gone to participate in the talks. We are calling off our talks," SP Udayakumar, coordinator of the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), said.
The fourth round of talks at Tirunelveli between the central government's experts panel on KNPP and the Tamil Nadu government's panel was all set to take place at the district collector's office on Tuesday morning.
