Chennai: Seeking to end the impasse over the Kudankulam nuclear plant issue, the Jayalalilthaa government in Tamil Nadu today gave the go ahead to the controversial project and announced a Rs. 500 crore special development
package for the area where it is located.
"In accordance with (today's) cabinet decision, immediate steps will be taken (to facilitate commissioning) of the plant," Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said in a statement, breaking her silence over the issue.
She also sought the cooperation of political parties and all concerned to immediately resume work at the plant in Tirunelveli district, stalled following protests since September 2011, spearheaded by the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE).
The cabinet decided to allocate Rs. 500 crore for locals to set up among others, a cold storage to
store fish catch, construct houses, laying of roads and repairing mechanised fishing boats of local fishermen, she said.
The decision comes a day after completion of polling at Sankarankoil, which falls in the same district.
