TN police crackdown on protesters
- 12 years ago
Tamil Nadu police on Monday (September 10) fired teargas shells to disperse anti-nuclear protesters, who again tried to lay siege to the nuclear power plant in Koodankulam demanding a halt to the loading of enriched uranium in the reactor. Defying prohibitory orders, the protesters refused to disperse from the sea shores, 500 metres away from the Kudankulam Nuclear Power project, despite repeated pleas by top police and district officials.
