Ex Kerala CM's move to fire up Kudankulam protests stalled

Kudankulam, Sept 18: With the anti-nuke protest against Kudankulam nuclear power plant going on in full steam, the Tamil Nadu police is still grappling to take control over the mass protest in Kudankulam and neighbouring Idinthakarai. The latest person to join the bandwagon of protests after Arvind Kejriwal is former Kerala CM VS Achuthanandan.

Achuthanandan, was however not able to reach the protest site after he was stopped on the way near the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. The police stalled his plan to join the protestors in Kudankulam near Kalikavil which is close to the border.

The man heading the protest and PMANE activist SP Udayakumar is still absconding and the Tamil Nadu police have issued a lookout against him. Udayakumar's wife, Meera has meanwhile appeared in a Valliyoor court on behalf of her husband who was summoned by the court.

The Kudankulam protests had taken a new turn after the agitating villagers resorted to Jal Satyagraha demanding that fuel should not be loaded in the plant's reactor.
