People residing in Koodankulam, Idinthakarai and nearby villages plan to go on hunger strike on September 11, at Idinthakarai in Tirunelveli district.
They are demanding closing down of the Koodankulam nuclear power plants, a release by the People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy said here on Wednesday.
The decision to intensify the stir was taken after Atomic Energy Commission Chairman, Dr Srikumar Banerjee’s recent announcement that “one of the two (Koodankulam plants) would attain criticality by September and the second by early 2012”, as reported in the media.
“This is a clear violation of the ongoing process of dialogue. We are afraid that the Government is secretly trying to open the Koodankulam plants even as they are talking to us about closing down,” the release added.
