Srikakulam: CITU leaders demanded for immediate cancellation of proposed nuclear power plant (NPP) at sea coast village Kovvada in Ranastalam mandal on Thursday. They staged a novel protest on Kovvada beach by digging pits on the beach and standing in it and shouted slogans that not to cheat and not to destroy people of north coastal AP.
Speaking on the occasion, CITU district general secretary Duppala Govinda Rao, union leaders P Tejeswara Rao and NV Ramana said that USA had not been establishing NPPs for the last 35 years, Japan and Germany were closing their NPPs gradually, Australia had rich for uranium deposits but it was not willing to start NPPs. All these countries had realised over danger from NPPs and improving electricity production through alternative measures.
But in our country, it is reversed, they charged. Both Central and State governments were not addressing safety of people and TDP government was soenthusiastic over NPP, they said. They found fault with CM Chandra Babu Naidu for resorting to ‘double standards’ on NPP as leader of opposition and as CM. Activists of CITU and villagers were present.
