Founder president of Akhila India Samaththuva Makkal Katchi R. Sarathkumar has said his party cadres would take out an awareness rally from Coimbatore to Kudankulam within a couple of weeks to highlight the need for the early commissioning of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project “to bailout the power-starved Tamil Nadu”. Addressing the cadres at the end of the hunger strike protest organised by the party here on Wednesday, to press the Central Government to immediately commission the KKNPP, Mr. Sarathkumar said Tamil Nadu, which was facing acute power shortage, could be bailed out to a great extent only with the electricity to be generated by the nuclear reactors of KKNPP. To create awareness among the public on the need for having nuclear power generation in the country and also to highlight the necessity for the early commissioning of KKNPP reactors, the party cadres would take out an awareness rally from Coimbatore to Kudankulam within a couple of weeks. The actor-turned-politician said he was prepared for a debate on KKNPP with Anti-KKNPP Struggle Committee convener S. P. Udayakumar. The protestors, who passed a resolution demanding the Centre to take all out efforts for the early commissioning of KKNPP, said the entire quantum of power to be generated at the upcoming nuclear park should be allotted to Tamil Nadu, which was reeling under severe power crisis. While thanking Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for having allocated Rs. 500 crore for carrying out several development activities in the villages around KKNPP site, they appealed to her to start work on these activities without further delay.
